This year marks the Endocrine Society’s 100th year of serving its members and the profession — and that calls for a celebration! We’re spending all of 2016 celebrating advancements in the field, honoring an illustrative past of scientific breakthroughs, and looking forward to a future full of innovation treating endocrine disorders.
Each month will be devoted to an area of expertise within endocrinology. Our centennial website will feature focused educational content, including facts and figures, histories, articles, trivia, and more.
And various portions of ENDO 2016 will be dedicated to the Society’s centennial:
- All seven plenary sessions will celebrate Nobel Prize-winning breakthroughs in endocrine research.
- Twelve symposia and many of the Meet-the-Professor speakers will present historical perspectives on session topics.
- The Sawin Memorial Lecture will explore a full century of endocrinology exploration.
- A debate on the safety of growth hormone therapy in children will begin with an enlightening contextual retrospective.
- A special historical display in the Society’s booth and a new “History Wall” will highlight the field’s evolution and most significant events.
Stem cell therapy in diabetes, bionic pancreases, big data analysis, novel disease treatments, and other innovations headline this year’s can’t-miss plenary slate.
Clinical trials and late-breaking data take center stage
Lead investigators who anticipate having clinical trial data for presentation at ENDO 2016 may submit late-breaking abstracts that outline the trial design and rationale, inclusion criteria, primary clinical endpoints, and any preliminary data.
Authors may indicate during initial abstract submission that they would like to withdraw their abstract if it is not eventually selected for an oral presentation at ENDO 2016. Authors may also choose to embargo their abstract until the time of the meeting.
A centennial celebration means special attention to time — and there’s still plenty of time to submit your new research for special attention of its own at ENDO.
Earn recognition by submitting your late-breaking abstracts that explore high-impact data. Submission for clinical trial and late-breaking abstracts opens January 19, 2016 and closes February 17, 2016.
With sessions dedicated to late-breaking abstracts and potential media coverage by The New York Times, ABC News, The Boston Globe, U.S. News & World Report, among others, there’s no better way to put your research in front of your peers and the public.
