Abstracts
Abstract Submission site will be open October 2024.
Submit your abstract to be part of our most important meeting of the year! AAA will host 150 expert speakers and thought leaders, more than 500 anatomy-related poster presentations, and 50 symposia at Anatomy Connected, the world’s largest gathering of anatomical science researchers and educators. Shine a spotlight on your own research by submitting an abstract.
Would you like to be selected for an oral talk? 45% of our oral presentations will be selected from abstract submissions in the following categories: educational research, cell biology, developmental biology, morphology, biological anthropology, cardiovascular, comparative anatomy, neurobiology, and regeneration.
