Myofilament Meeting 2026: What's Hot in Myofilament Structure, Elasticity, and Regulatory Networks in Muscle Function and Disease

 

Abstract Submission

Poster Sessions are open for each attendee to present a poster, but only one poster per person can be accommodated.

Please upload your abstract for your poster presentation during the ECI session on May 23 or the regular meeting poster session by April 1, 2026.  Be sure to indicate whether your abstract is for the ECI Symposium, the regular poster session (see categories below), or both.

All abstracts submitted by trainees and early career investigators (ECI) will be reviewed in advance of the meeting for possible inclusion in the competition for poster awards. Selected abstracts will be judged during the poster sessions on Sunday and Monday, and winners will be expected to give a short oral presentation at the Award Session on Tuesday, May 26. Please come to the meeting prepared with a 5-minute, 2-slide “Data Blitz” presentation in case you are selected to receive one of the best poster awards!

Abstracts submitted for consideration at the Early Career Investigators Symposium will be reviewed by the ECI committee, and those selected will be notified via email in advance of the meeting.

Awards will be made to the top two trainee presenters from the ECI Symposium and to the top six trainee poster presenters from the Sunday and Monday Poster Sessions.

All abstracts must be submitted via email to myofilamentmeeting@gmail.com
