2019-2021 Annual Meetings of the Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS)

环境诱变和基因组学会(EMGS)是主要的科学学会培养 DNA修复、突变和环境表观遗传学的基本机制及其应用研究 这一知识有助于了解环境暴露对人类健康的影响。DNA修复的研究， EMGS科学家的突变和表观遗传学与遗传和获得性研究相结合 易患癌症、早衰、神经退化和出生的基因改变 缺陷。对细胞、组织、整体 生物体和人类群体对基因毒性物质的反应对知情的监管决策至关重要- 在环境健康危害方面做出的决定。多学科基础性与应用性的整合 研究对这一过程至关重要。这种整合仍然是EMGS的中心重点，年度 会议是传播信息和促进必要互动的关键。此外, 会议为学生和新的/早期研究人员介绍他们的研究提供了一个重要的论坛 并在鼓励开放思想交流的环境中与各自领域的顶尖科学家互动。这个 EMGS第50届年会将于2019年9月19日至23日在华盛顿举行。主题是 《环境诱变与基因组学：未来五十年》，涵盖当前研究领域 集中在环境暴露、细胞和生物体如何应对这些挑战等问题上， 以及如何在高通量数据时代应用这些信息来促进人类健康。这个 第51届和第52届年会的主题将在每次会议前大约一年选定。 年会由研讨会、研讨会、全体讲座、讲台和海报会议组成，将 涵盖学会内的所有科学兴趣，汇集了学术界、工业界和 政府科学家对环境因素如何导致遗传毒性和表观遗传结果感兴趣。 此应用程序的目标是为学生和新/早期阶段的旅行奖励申请资金 调查人员出席年会并为受邀演讲人的旅费提供部分支持。旅行 奖励有助于抵消经济负担，否则可能会阻止学生和新/早期阶段 参加会议的调查人员。支持支付特邀演讲者的旅费，使协会能够提供 以更低的成本为与会者带来最大的价值。来自社会内外的演讲者提供了 世界级会议所需的研究和思想的相互交融。

The Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS) is the primary scientific society fostering research on basic mechanisms of DNA repair, mutagenesis, and environmental epigenetics and application of this knowledge to understanding human health effects from environmental exposures. Studies of DNA repair, mutagenesis, and epigenetics by EMGS scientists are integrated with research on inherited and acquired genetic alterations that predispose individuals to cancer, premature aging, neurodegenerations and birth defects. Fundamental understanding of the mechanisms and consequences of cellular, tissue, whole organism, and human population responses to genotoxic agents is crucial to informed regulatory decision- making with respect to environmental health hazards. The integration of multi-disciplinary basic and applied research is essential to this process. Such integration remains the central focus of the EMGS, and the annual meetings are key to the dissemination of information and fostering the necessary interactions. In addition, meetings provide an important forum for students and new/early stage investigators to present their research and to interact with leading scientists in their field in a setting that encourages open exchange of ideas. The 50th Annual Meeting of the EMGS will be held in Washington D.C. from September 19-23, 2019. The theme is “Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics: The Next Fifty Years”, encompassing areas of current research that converge on the issues of environmental exposure, how cells and organisms respond to such challenges, and how this information can be applied to promote human health in the era of high-throughput data. The themes for the 51st and 52nd Annual Meetings will be selected approximately a year before each meeting. Comprised of symposia, workshops, plenary lectures, platform and poster sessions, the Annual Meeting will encompass the full range of scientific interests within the Society, bringing together academic, industrial, and governmental scientists interested in how environmental factors lead to genotoxic and epigenetic outcomes. The objectives of this application are to request funds for Travel Awards for students and new/early stage investigators to attend the Annual Meeting and partial support for travel expenses of invited speakers. Travel Awards assist in offsetting the financial burden that might otherwise prevent students and new/early stage investigators from attending. Support to defray travel costs for invited speakers enables the Society to provide the greatest value at lower costs to attendees. Speakers from both within and outside the society provides the cross-fertilization of research and ideas necessary for a world-class meeting.
