2022 Call for Papers and Posters
The ASPHO Conference Planning Committee invites the submission of abstracts for papers and posters to be presented at the 2022 ASPHO Conference, May 4-7 in Pittsburgh, PA. At this time, the conference will occur in-person, and we look forward to providing you with the opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and friends in Pittsburgh.
The deadline to submit an abstract is Thursday, January 13, 2022, at 3:00 pm Central Time.
The goal is to solicit the very best, original basic, clinical, and social science abstracts that relate to the field of pediatric hematology/oncology.

However, these abstracts must be updated or modified in some way.
