Call for abstracts 

The DLiMB Symposium organising committee invites abstract submissions for oral presentations at the DLiMB Symposium to be held online on 29 October 2020 in Melbourne, Australia and hosted by The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research. 

Submissions should contain new, previously unpublished material.

All abstracts are to be submitted electronically here in English for review before August 31.

Authors should ensure the following criteria are met in their submission: 

• The topic is relevant to the theme (deep learning applications in medical biology) 
• The subject matter is inventive, original and new

We invite local and international submissions. If your abstract is accepted you will be given the opportunity to select a preferred time of presentation that aligns with Melbourne local time, Australian Daylight Time (AEDT). The DLiMB organising committee will do their best to accommodate your preferences.

Oral presentations will be allocated 15 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions. Submitting authors will be notified via e-mail whether their abstract was accepted. 

We encourage you to think of the best way to engage the audience, sharing your experience and generating ideas for exploration and learning.
