Travel Awards for the 4th Asian Conference on Environmental Mutagens

 描述(由申请者提供)：第四届亚洲环境诱变剂会议旅行奖摘要我们请求资助10名学生和早期职业研究人员参加2014年12月10日至12日在印度加尔各答举行的第四届亚洲环境诱变剂会议(ACEM)，该会议由CSIR-印度化学生物学研究所组织。ACEM每两到三年在不同的亚洲国家举行，聚集了来自学术界、工业界和政府的约300名科学家，他们对环境诱变剂的基本机制及其对人类健康的影响感兴趣。国际环境突变和基因组学会协会(IAEMGS)正在提交这笔赠款，因为它正在协调世界各地环境突变姐妹组织的活动。世界知名的特邀演讲者已经被选为这次会议的主旨演讲，主题是“基因-环境在人类健康中的相互作用”。研讨会、平台和海报演示将代表环境突变和基因组学领域的尖端研究，包括DNA损伤和修复、细胞应激反应、表观遗传学、转录、复制、细胞周期停滞和细胞凋亡等基础科学方面的尖端研究。此外，关于如何更好地识别和检测诱变剂、它们对人类健康构成什么风险、如何最好地调节和控制这些诱变剂的环境水平以及如何最好地协调全球监管决策的讨论，将彻底涵盖环境对衰老过程和癌症和其他疾病的影响。由组织者选出的一个代表不同地理和科学领域的奖项委员会将根据他们提交的摘要和其他辅助材料的优劣，选出10名研究生和新兴的独立调查人员。这笔R13拨款将增加可以颁发的旅行奖励的数量，并将产生定义职业生涯的影响。将被选为奖项的早期职业科学家很可能在不久的将来成为我们领域的领导者之一。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Travel Awards for 4th Asian Conference on Environmental Mutagens Abstract We request funding to support travel awards for 10 students and early career investigators to attend the 4th Asian Conference on Environmental Mutagens (ACEM) to be held December 10- 12, 2014, in Kolkata, India, organized by organized by the CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology. The ACEM are held every two to three years in different Asian countries, bringing together about 300 scientists from academia, industry, and government interested in basic mechanisms of environmental mutagens and their impact on human health. The International Association of Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Societies (IAEMGS) is submitting this grant as it coordinates the activities of the environmental mutagenesis sister organizations worldwide. World renowned invited speakers have been selected for keynote addresses for the meeting, themed "Gene-Environment Interplay in Human Health." The symposium, platform, and poster presentations will represent cutting edge research in the field of environmental mutagenesis and genomics, including cutting edge research in the basic science of DNA damage and repair, cellular stress responses, epigenetics, transcription, replication, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. Furthermore, the influence of the environment on the aging process and the induction of cancer and other diseases will be thoroughly covered with discussions on how mutagenic agents can be better identified and detected, what risk to human health they pose, how the environmental levels of these agents could be best regulated and controlled, and how to best harmonize regulatory decisions globally. An awards committee selected by the organizers representing different geographical and scientific areas will select 10 graduate students and emerging independent investigators on the merits of their submitted abstracts and other supporting materials. This R13 grant funding will increase the number of travel awards that can be made and will have career defining impact. The early career scientists who will be selected for awards will most likely be among the leaders in our field in the near future.
