The Organizing Committee wishes to provide an opportunity for attendees (pathology residents, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows) to present their research or interesting cases at this Workshop. We invite you to participate and look forward to an active exchange of thoughts and experiences (maximum 15 minutes presentation plus 5 for questions). Please submit brief abstracts for consideration and inclusion in the scientific program as an oral presentation. The submitted abstracts should give a brief description of the title and topic. All abstracts must be submitted no later than February 20, 2026, and will be reviewed by members of the organizing committee. Participants will be notified by March 6, 2026, if their abstract is accepted. It is best to submit your abstract as early as possible because spaces are limited for abstracts and in-person registration and may fill up well before the indicated deadlines. 

Email your submission to mousemodelpathology@stjude.org
