Registration closes on May 31, 2023.
Call for poster abstracts
The IPI Surfacing poster session is an opportunity for researchers to showcase work on cell surface receptor biology and network with speakers and panelists.
Poster submission is now closed.
The IPI team is currently reviewing abstracts and will notify researchers of accepted posters by May 15, 2023.
