2016 Environmental Endocrine Disruptors Gordon Research Conference & Gordon Research Seminar

 描述(由申请者提供)：戈登环境内分泌干扰物研究会议(GRC)继续是内分泌干扰物研究领域的首要会议，2016年是关键，因为正在举行许多里程碑式的周年纪念，包括这次会议10周年。在开幕全体会议上，2016 GRC将标志着这些关键的里程碑和周年纪念，然后将其全部注意力转向未来，通过促进讨论和参与，为未来的监管决策、公共卫生政策和临床实践解决数据差距和长期研究需求。在这一中心使命下，该计划专门设计以新的科学和科学家为特色，突出跨学科的努力，并吸引该领域的所有利益相关者。一个主要目标是通过将对野生动物的观察与使用新的模型系统的机械实验室研究以及人类临床和流行病学研究联系起来，提供关于内分泌干扰化学品(EDCs)如何影响人类和生态系统健康的综合观点。会议主题包括跨代表观遗传、新出现的污染物和个体间(种群水平)脆弱性；本系列以前的会议没有很好地讨论这些主题，但处于EDC研究的前沿。2016年的会议也不同，因为每届会议都包括机械学和人类临床和流行病学研究。为新出现的专题演讲预留了一节，从提交的摘要中挑选，以确保介绍最新的成果(特别是来自青年科学家的成果)。THI GRC成立于1998年，至今仍是一个独特的论坛，吸引着来自不同研究领域的研究人员，他们对EDCs对野生动物和人类健康的影响有着共同的兴趣。每一次谈话都与NIEHS的使命直接相关。它每两年举行一次，由与会者制定，由GRC组织，GRC是一个国际知名的组织，以其会议的高质量和前沿性质而闻名。这个GRC吸引了来自基础科学、临床医学、流行病学、公共卫生、政府、非政府组织和行业的专家，这些专家可能是GRC中最广泛的支持者。2016年会议将于2016年6月19日至24日在缅因州纽里市的SUNDAY River举行，同时还将举行相关的戈登研究研讨会(GRS；6月18日至19日)，该研讨会面向早期调查人员和实习生，为网络、职业发展和项目发展/反馈提供了一个论坛。GRC和GRS参与者之间的科学讨论、研究讲座、海报会议和非正式互动将极大地促进我们对涉及内分泌干扰人类健康的新分子机制的理解。在这里形成的互动和合作将为未来国际努力了解和减轻内分泌干扰这一重要的公共卫生问题提供坚实的基础。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Environmental Endocrine Disruptors continues to be the premier meeting in the field of endocrine disruptor research and 2016 is pivotal because numerous landmark anniversaries are occurring, including the 10th anniversary of this meeting. In the opening plenary, the 2016 GRC will mark these critical milestones and anniversaries, and then turn its full attention to the futue by promoting discussion and engagement addressing data gaps and long-term research needs for future regulatory decision making, public health policy, and clinical practice. Under this central mission, the program was specifically designed to feature new science and scientists, highlight interdisciplinary efforts, and engage the full spectrum of stakeholders in the field. A primary goal is to provide an integrated view of how endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) affect human and ecosystem health by linking observations in wildlife with mechanistic laboratory studies using novel model systems and human clinical and epidemiological studies. Session topics include transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, emerging contaminants, and inter-individual (population level) vulnerability; topics not well covered in previous meetings in this series, but at the forefront of EDC research. The 2016 meeting is also distinct because mechanistic and human clinical and epidemiological studies are included in every session. An additional session has been reserved for emerging topic talks to be selected from submitted abstracts to ensure that the latest results (particularly from young scientists) are presented. Thi GRC began in 1998 and remains a unique forum to attract researchers from across the research spectrum who shared common interests in the effects of EDCs on wildlife and human health. Every talk is directly related to the mission of the NIEHS. Held biennially and shaped by its participants, it is organized by the GRC, an organization internationally known for the high quality, cutting-edge nature of its meetings. This GRC attracts experts from basic science, clinical medicine, epidemiology, public health, government, NGOs, and industry, perhaps the widest constituency of any GRC. The 2016 meeting will be held at Sunday River in Newry, Maine on June 19-24, 2016, together with an associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS; June 18-19) which is oriented toward early stage investigators and trainees and provides a forum for networking, career development, and project development/feedback. The scientific discussions, research talks, poster sessions, and informal interactions among the participants of the GRC and GRS will greatly contribute to advancing our understanding of novel molecular mechanisms involved in endocrine disruption of human health. The interactions and collaborations forged here will provide a strong base for future international efforts to understand and mitigate the important public health problem of endocrine disruption.
