The title of the abstract should be put in capital letters and bold style. Name of the authors (Family name, Abbreviations of First and Middle names) should follow on a separate line (again in bold, but not in capital).

On a separate line put the full address of the principal investigator (including the name of the institution, name of the laboratory, street, postal code, city, country, e-mail address), other institutions can be abbreviated. The text of the abstract will follow after extra carriage return (one empty line).
