Submission Guidelines
Abstracts should be relevant to the scientific topic of the symposium and must contain primary scientific data.
Only one abstract should be submitted per presenter.
- Limit of 1,500 characters (including spaces, not including title/affiliations).
- Provide a brief title using Title Case**
**Title Case: Capitalize the first word and all major words (nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs). Do not use capital letters for prepositions, articles, or conjunctions unless one is the first word.)

- If multiple affiliations are to be indicated, list each separated by a semicolon.
- Numbers should be in numerical order preceding each affiliation without a space between the number and the first word. Numbering should be in brackets to show who belongs with each affiliation. E.g., Robert Smith [1], Martin Rose [1], and Jane Doe [2].
- If an author has multiple affiliations, use numbering after the last degree separated by commas with no spaces (example: John Doe, MD, PhD[1,2]).
- Text:
- Place special abbreviations in parentheses after the full word, the first time they appear.
- Special characters should be spelled out where possible (e.g. alpha not α).

The human microbiota accounts for about 90% of the cells in the human body. These bacterial communities have co-evolved with humans and have functional roles in metabolism and immunity. Commensals play a role in immunologic homeostasis.........
Whenever feasible, attempts are undertaken to incorporate early career investigators into the program via short talk and poster opportunities.
