8th International Nanotoxicology Congress

PI: Elder， Alison#1638437第八届国际纳米毒理学大会广泛关注工程纳米材料对人类和环境健康的影响。将有关于纳米技术的益处和健康风险的介绍。来自许多不同学科的专业人士将聚集在一起，目标是确定如何以一种不对环境或制造和使用纳米材料的人类造成危害的方式使用纳米材料。会议有三个目标：1)汇集来自学术界、工业界、政府机构和非政府组织的科学家，介绍新的研究成果和分析，以更好地了解工程纳米材料的暴露及其对人类和环境健康的潜在影响；2)批判性地评估过去十年纳米毒理学研究的进展，并制定新的战略和研究重点，以促进有关纳米技术安全实施的决策；3)支持来自代表性不足的群体和不发达国家的初级研究人员和科学家的参与。这些目标将通过一个科学严谨的项目来实现，包括高水平和重点讲座、互动研讨会和海报会议，以及对跨学科、资历、性别、国籍和地位的包容性承诺。与会者来自学术界、工业界、政府和非营利组织，分享他们各自的专业知识。在成功实现会议目标的过程中，对科学家和美国公众都将有重大的好处。具体而言，综合会议计划将最大限度地提高科学家之间的互动，以支持未来研究的优先次序和建立富有成效的合作。对公众来说，一次成功的会议将有助于纳米技术的市场可行性，并以不危及人类或环境健康的方式促进其实施。

PI: Elder, Alison#1638437The 8th International Nanotoxicology Congress is focused broadly on the human and environmental health effects of engineered nanoscale materials. There will be presentations about both the benefits and health risks associated with nanotechnology. Professionals from many different disciplines will come together with the goal of determining how nanomaterials can be used in a way that does not create harm for the environment or for the humans who make and use them.The conference has three objectives to: 1) bring together scientists from academia, industry, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations to present new research findings and analyses to better understand exposures to engineered nanomaterials and their potential impact on human and environmental health; 2) critically evaluate the progress of the preceding decade of nanotoxicology research and to develop new strategies and research priorities to facilitate decision-making regarding the safe implementation of nanotechnology; and 3) support the participation of junior investigators and scientists from underrepresented groups and underdeveloped countries. The objectives will be met via a scientifically-rigorous program that includes high-level and focused lectures, interactive workshops and poster sessions, and a commitment to inclusiveness across disciplines, seniority, sex, nationality, and status. Participants are coming from academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations to share their respective expertise.In successfully meeting the conference objectives, there will be significant benefits for both scientists and the US public. Specifically, the integrated conference program will maximize interactions amongst scientists to support the prioritization of future research and the establishment of fruitful collaborations. For the public, a successful conference will contribute to both the market viability of nanotechnology and its implementation in a way that does not put human or environmental health at risk.
