Poster and flash talk presenter corner

Abstract submission for 2026 - Now closed

This year, we invited abstract submissions to be considered for 8-minute short talks (with two minutes of questions), 3-minute flash talks and poster presentations for the 2026 Annual Meeting on topics relating to epigenetics of embryogenesis and placentation. 

While this year’s meeting focuses on the Epigenetics of Embryogenesis and Placentation, we warmly welcomed abstracts beyond the main theme that align with the broader research focus of the Loke CTR and its research priorities. These themes include (but are not limited to): 

  • Understanding placental development and function 
  • Investigating maternal–fetal interactions 
  • Addressing complications of pregnancy 
  • Exploring translational and clinical applications
