Please note that there was a little mistake in the previous communication. The IDMC-15 Organizing Committee is pleased to announce an extension of the abstract submission deadline to January 16, 11:59 PM, EST, UTC‑5 and not to January 20. Sorry for the confusion. This extension is intended to provide additional time for researchers, clinicians, and trainees to finalize and submit their work for consideration in the scientific program. Season's Greetings! Your IDMC-15 Organ
