The 59th ACLPS Annual Meeting will be held Thursday-Saturday, 6-8 June 2024 in New York, NY. The program will feature leading research in laboratory medicine presented by invited speakers and Young Investigators. Scientific sessions and an awards banquet will be held on the campus of Columbia University at the elegant Faculty House, a landmark in Upper Manhattan since 1923.
We are continuing to monitor the status of the Columbia University campus following recent protests. At this time, we are expecting to host the ACLPS conference at the Faculty House this June as planned. We will keep the website updated and notify all registrants if anything changes.
The 2024 Annual Meeting will be hosted by the Columbia University Department of Pathology. Its faculty have led the way nationally in advancing cancer-related and constitutional genetic and genomic clinical testing. Its precision medicine mission has expanded to include novel test development, cutting edge research, genetic counseling and creative educational opportunities. With a long history of scientific accomplishments, commitment to clinical innovation, and nationally recognized programs in anatomic pathology, laboratory medicine, investigative pathology, and cell biology research, the department is uniquely positioned to impact the future of laboratory medicine.
The meeting organizers are planning a program with presentations in clinical chemistry, clinical microbiology, clinical hematology, toxicology, blood banking and transfusion medicine, cellular therapy, clinical informatics, clinical immunology, clinical laboratory genetics and genomics, and laboratory automation. More information will be posted here as plans develop.

Notification to presenting authors will be made by 1 April 2024.
Abstracts were encouraged from both trainees and faculty members. Abstracts from trainees that are accepted for the session for submitted scientific papers will be given as either an oral or poster presentation:
Oral Presentation — limited to exactly 10 minutes of PowerPoint presentation followed by 5 minutes for discussion and questions from the floor.
Poster Presentation — Printed scientific posters, vertical or horizontal, maximum 36 x 48 inches (91 x 122 cm). Presenters are responsible for printing their posters and mounting them on the provided presentation boards.

ACLPS Junior Faculty Abstract Awards
The new ACLPS Junior Faculty Award will be awarded to two faculty within 5 years of their initial faculty appointment. Junior Faculty Awardees will be invited to give a platform presentation at the ACLPS annual meeting. Submissions from individuals more than 5 years of their initial faculty appointment will be selected for poster presentations.
Paul E. Strandjord Young Investigator Awards
Residents, fellows, and doctoral scientists actively training in programs in the health sciences who have participated in research with a member of ACLPS, or who are sponsored by an ACLPS member, are considered eligible for the Paul E. Strandjord Young Investigator Award (YIA) Program, as described in the full call for abstracts.
To receive an award, the young investigator must be the presenter and must still be in training at the time of presentation at the annual meeting. A sponsoring ACLPS member must verify the eligibility of the young investigator.
