The biological story behind your study is of great importance, but your poster or oral presentation should mainly focus on the qPCR method itself (technical questions addressed, optimization or validation process, details about the methodology, etc.), hence the name of the symposium. Attendants will come to learn and see how others are using the technology to proceed with their studies.

Oral presentations from selected abstracts will have 15 minutes for presentation, followed by 5 minutes of discussion. Poster panels are 100 x 200 cm (width x height), so the dimensions of your poster should not exceed 90 x 120 cm (width x height).
