Whether you plan on exhibiting in Louisville, submitting a topic or abstract for the program, or nominating a well-deserving colleague for an AALAS award, you can begin preparing now! Read below for the information you need to start planning for our 73rd National Meeting.
Submit a Topic or Abstract for 2022
The Program Committee and AALAS President Marc Hulin invite you to submit proposals for abstracts, technical trade presentations, panel discussions, seminars, special topic lectures, and workshops for the 2022 National Meeting.
Want to submit a topic or abstract? Click here to access the portal. Those who have submitted topics or abstracts before will have a password and username. New users must create an account. The deadline for topic submissions (seminars, panels, workshops, technical trades, special topic lectures) is March 15, and the deadline for abstracts (posters and platforms) is June 1.
The meeting will feature a Spotlight Forum on oncology in laboratory animal science. We invite you to submit proposals for abstracts, panel discussions, seminars, and special topic lectures on oncology/cancer in laboratory animal science. Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020 and is the number 2 killer of people in the United States at a rate of 600,000 annually. Metastases are the primary cause of death from cancer. The standard therapies for cancer treatment still include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. Most of the biomedical research and the public only know about these three standard therapies of treatment for cancer. Current research has uncovered the power of implementing appropriate oncology animal models in developing new therapies to attack cancer in a novel and an innovative fashion to provide better outcomes for patients. We are seeking topics and abstracts related to managing animal care and use programs supporting oncology animal models, husbandry procedures, and practices to maintain sensitive animal models for cancer, scientific investigations into the value of animal models to develop cancer therapies, and health and welfare considerations for humane endpoints. Please consider a submission.
