Abstract information > Information for abstract submission

Abstract submission will open on March 1st 2018

Deadline for abstract submission:   May 15th 2018

Participants must create an account before submitting abstracts and/or register. To do this, go to "create an account" in the menu "Connexion".

 Once your account is created, the "Registration" and "Submissions" menus will become accessible. You can then follow the instructions allowing you to register to the conference and workshops, and to submit your abstract for a presentation 

 

Participants are invited to submit an abstract for an oral presentation or a poster on the main theme of MarineLipids2018:

 

Theme 1 - Lipid structures and functions at cellular and sub-cellular levels

Theme 2 - Role of fatty acids and sterols in the maintenance of membrane fluidity, integrity and cell signaling - How this role can drive the distribution of marine organisms in the oceans?

Theme 3- Metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids and sterols in phototroph and heterotroph marine organisms - Biochemical pathways for anabolism and catabolism

Theme 4 - Transfer and role of polyunsaturated fatty acids and sterols in aquatic food webs - Trophic upgrading by protists, heterotrophic flagellates, and zooplankton

Theme 5 - Effects of the environmental changes on lipid metabolism in marine organisms (prokaryotes, unicellular eukaryotes, metazoans) and on trophic transfer. Consequences on lipid synthesis, transfer and degradation in biogeochemical cycle.

Theme 6– Lipid characteristics and synthesis in extreme ecosystems (polar, deep ocean,..)

Theme 7 - Influence of lipids on health and condition in finfish and shellfish aquaculture

Theme 8 - Influence of lipid pathways on contaminant fate in organisms and ecosystems

Theme 9 -Lipid oxidation and toxic lipids

Theme 10 - Advances in analytical chemistry of lipids - Compound specific stable isotope analysis of lipids

Theme 11 - Marine lipids, human health and ecosystem services - Lipids in emerging biotechnology and blue economy
