Present Your Work
at COMMET 2026

Abstract Submission

Share your research at the Cellular-Organ Models, Mechanotransduction and Emerging Biomimetic Technologies (COMMET) Symposium 2026, taking place November 23–27, 2026, at Facultad de Ciencias, UNAM, Mexico City.
COMMET welcomes contributions from students, researchers, academics, clinicians, engineers, and professionals working across disciplines.
From mechanobiology and mechanotransduction to organ-on-chip technologies, biomaterials, biofabrication, organoids, microfluidics, and advanced biological models.

Accepted abstracts may be presented as a Poster Presentation or FlashTalk.

How Can You Participate?

Poster Presentation
Present your research during the COMMET Poster Sessions and discuss your work directly with researchers and participants from different disciplines.

Poster presentations provide an opportunity to share results, methods, emerging ideas, and ongoing research in an interactive setting.

Preferred Presentation Format

During abstract submission, you will be asked to indicate your preferred presentation format: Poster or FlashTalk.

Your selected format is a preference and cannot be guaranteed.

The final presentation format will be determined by the COMMET Scientific Committee based on abstract evaluation, relevance to the scientific program, and session availability.

The assigned presentation format will be communicated to the presenting author in the acceptance notification.

Scientific Topics

Select the topic that best matches your work:

Biomaterials and biofabrication
3D cell cultures and organotypic models
Organ-on-chip and microphysiological systems
Mechanobiology and mechanotransduction
In vivo and ex vivo biological models

Interdisciplinary contributions connecting multiple topics are welcome.

Abstract Guidelines

All abstracts must be submitted in English.

Title

Maximum 170 characters, including spaces.

Abstract

Maximum 2,000 characters, including spaces.

Please structure your abstract using the following sections:

  • Background and Aims
  • Methods
  • Results
  • Conclusions

Keywords

Provide 3–5 keywords, separated by semicolons.

You will also be asked to provide:

  • Presenting author
  • Co-authors
  • Institutional affiliation(s)
  • Contact information
  • Preferred presentation format
  • Scientific topic

Please review all information carefully before submitting your abstract.

Poster Guidelines

Authors assigned to a Poster Presentation must prepare a printed scientific poster according to the following specifications:

Format

Size: 90 cm wide × 120 cm high
Orientation: Portrait (vertical)
Language: English

The poster should clearly display:

  • Title
  • Authors
  • Institutional affiliations
  • Background and/or objectives
  • Methods
  • Main results
  • Conclusions


The use of figures, diagrams, images, and graphs is encouraged. Text and visual elements should be large enough to be easily read during the poster session.

Poster Presentation

Presenting authors are responsible for printing and bringing their poster to the symposium.

Poster boards and materials for mounting the posters will be available at the venue.

Each poster will be assigned a poster number, session, date, and presentation time. This information will be communicated to the presenting author before the symposium.

The presenting author must be present at the poster during the assigned Poster Session to discuss the work with attendees.

There is no need to submit your poster file in advance.

FlashTalk Guidelines

Authors selected for a FlashTalk will give a short oral presentation highlighting the main message of their work.

Presentation Format

Duration: 7 minutes
Language: English
Slide format: 16:9 widescreen
Accepted file format: PowerPoint (.pptx) or PDF

FlashTalk presentations should focus on the essential elements of the work:

  • Research question or objective
  • Approach or methodology
  • Key results
  • Main conclusion or take-home message


Keep slides visually clear and concise. We strongly recommend prioritizing figures, diagrams, and key results over large amounts of text.

Presentation Submission

To ensure smooth transitions between speakers and avoid technical delays during the sessions, authors whose abstracts are accepted for a FlashTalk must submit their presentation in advance.

FlashTalk presentation submission deadline: November 18, 2026

Presentations received after the deadline may not be included in the final session setup.

Instructions and the link for uploading the presentation will be sent directly to authors selected for a FlashTalk.

Please bring a backup copy of your presentation on a USB drive on the day of your session.
