2nd Southern Genome Maintenance Conference

第二届南方基因组维护大会将于2021年6月26日至27日在佛罗里达的迈阿密举行。的 会议将是两年一度的南方基因组维护会议的延续， 预计每隔一年在墨西哥湾沿岸和美国南部地区的不同城市举行。的 第二次会议将在佛罗里达国际大学/该州的莫德斯托迈迪克校区举行 佛罗里达大学系统于2021年6月26日星期六上午11点开始，6月27日星期日结束， 2021年，下午两点半。会议将以主题演讲开始，然后是选自以下的简短演讲： 提交摘要。前两次会议将在星期六举行，随后将举行海报会议。第三届会议 将在星期天。会议的目的是集中讨论与主要问题密切相关的主题， 墨西哥湾沿岸和南部各州的公共卫生问题，由于独特的环境 暴露，多样化的人口，以及癌症，年龄相关神经系统疾病等疾病的健康差异 疾病和代谢疾病。 1)DNA修复、基因组完整性与疾病 2)基因组完整性的环境影响 3)对环境暴露和环境疾病的表位反应。 有几个全国性的会议，重点是DNA修复和基因组的稳定性/完整性。但 是讨论环境对基因组完整性影响的机会的一个重大缺口， epitranscriptomes，和疾病通过DNA修复，这是本次会议的重点。这次会议， 沿着未来的系列会议，旨在提供讨论问题的绝佳机会， 与各区域的环境暴露和疾病有关。会议还将提供一个独特的场地 用于展示创新发现和科学，更重要的是，为学生，博士后研究员， 和新的研究人员（i）与主讲人亲自互动，（ii）介绍他们的创新研究。 此外，由于会议将在佛罗里达国际大学举行，这是最大的 少数民族机构在美国，我们希望会议将激励和促进代表不足的少数民族 学生参与基础和转化研究，为他们提供讨论的机会， 与资深科学家和同事分享他们的创造性科学思想。因此，会议的主要目标是 创造了一个独特的机会，将基因组和表观转录组完整性基础的DNA修复与 环境疾病。会议还将促进跨学科合作， 基因组和表转录组以及环境疾病。此外，会议将提供一个 为学生，特别是少数民族学生，早期职业和高级研究人员讨论提供了良好的环境 他们的新发现，并提高下一代科学家。

The 2nd Southern Genome Maintenance Conference will be held on June 26-27, 2021, in Miami, Florida. The conference will be the continuation of the biennial Southern Genome Maintenance Conference, which is expected to be held at different cities around the Gulf Coast and Southern US regions every other year. The second conference will be held at the Modesto Maidique Campus of Florida International University/The State University System of Florida on Saturday, June 26, 2021, starting at 11 AM and ending on Sunday, June 27, 2021, at 2:30 PM. The conference sessions will start with a keynote lecture followed by short talks selected from submitted abstracts. The first two sessions will be on Saturday with a poster session to follow. The third session will be on Sunday. The conference is intended to focus on the topics, which are closely relevant to the major public health issues in the regions of the Gulf Coast and the Southern States due to the unique environmental exposures, diversified population, and health disparities in diseases such as cancer, age-related neurological disorders, and metabolic diseases. 1) DNA Repair, Genome Integrity and Diseases 2) Environmental Influences of Genome Integrity 3) Epitranscriptomic Responses to Environmental Exposures and Environmental Diseases. There are several national conferences that focus on DNA repair and genome stability/integrity. However, there is a significant gap in the opportunities for discussions on the environmental impact on genome integrity, epitranscriptomes, and diseases through DNA repair that are the focus of this conference. This conference, along with the future series of the conference, aims at providing excellent opportunities for discussions on issues relevant to environmental exposure and diseases in the regions. The conference will also provide a unique venue for presentations of innovative discoveries and science, and more importantly, for students, postdoctoral fellows, and new investigators to (i) interact with keynote speakers in person and (ii) to present their innovative research. Furthermore, since the conference will be held at Florida International University, which is one of the largest minority institutions in the US, we expect that the conference will inspire and promote under-represented minority students to participate in basic and translational research by providing them with the opportunities of discussing their creative scientific ideas with senior scientists and colleagues. Thus, the major goal of the conference is to create a unique opportunity that bridges DNA repair that underlies genome and epitranscriptome integrity with environmental diseases. The conference will also foster interdisciplinary collaboration on the stability of the genome and epitranscriptome and environmental diseases. Furthermore, the conference will provide an excellent environment for students, especially minority students, early career and senior investigators to discuss their new findings and enhance the next generation of scientists.
