GENOMICS, PROTEOMICS, BIOINFORMATICS & DEVELOPMENTAL TOX

基因组学、蛋白质组学和生物信息学领域的最新发展为进行基因和蛋白质表达的全球分析提供了可能性。由于与这些领域相关的方法学在发育毒理学领域有直接和直接的应用，我们组织了一天多的研讨会，题为“基因组学、蛋白质组学、生物信息学和21世纪的发育毒理学”，旨在将这些发展和应用带到畸形学家/发育毒物学家社区。本次研讨会的目的有两个：1)向畸形学家/发育毒物学家介绍基因组学、蛋白质组学和生物信息学的新兴领域；2)提供这些领域的技术已经或可能对21世纪的发育毒理学产生影响的实例。由于这次研讨会的听众是跨学科的，即畸形学/发育毒理学、发育生物学、药理学、调节生物学、流行病学和畸形学的基础科学家，我们建议的研讨会将引起几个NIH研究所的兴趣，例如NIEHS、NICHD、NIDCR、NIAAA、NHLBI和NIGMS。为了最大限度地提供实现这些目标的机会，这次研讨会将与畸形学学会的年会同时举行，该年会将于2000年6月29-30日在佛罗里达州棕榈滩的Breaker酒店举行。为了鼓励畸形科学会会员，特别是学生和年轻科学家参加，我们将减少参加畸形科学会会议的注册人数。此外，我们将根据提交的摘要，向10名学生提供500美元的旅行奖励。我们还将在适当的期刊(畸胎学、毒理学和应用药理学、环境健康展望)上刊登广告，并通过电子邮件通知畸形学学会和毒理学学会的成员，通知其他畸形学家和发育毒物学家这次研讨会。为了传达这次研讨会的结果，会议纪要将发表在《畸形学》杂志和/或《毒理学与应用药理学》杂志上。

Recent developments in the fields of genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics offer the potential to undertake global analyses of gene and protein expression. Because the methodologies associated with these fields have direct and immediate applications to the field of developmental toxicology, we have organized a 1 + day symposium entitled, "Genomics, Proteomics, Bioinformatics, and Developmental Toxicology in the 21st Century," designed to bring these developments and applications to the community of teratologists/deveiopmental toxicologists. The goal of this symposium is two-fold: l) to introduce teratologists/developmental toxicologists to the newly emerging fields of genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics and 2) to provide examples in which the technologies from these arenas have or are likely to have influence on developmental toxicology in the 21st century. Because the audience for this symposium is interdisciplinary, i.e., basic scientists in teratology/developmental toxicology, developmental biology, pharmacology, regulatory biology, epidemiology, and dysmorphology, our proposed symposium will be of interest to several NIH institutes, e.g., NIEHS, NICHD, NIDCR, NIAAA, NHLBI, and NIGMS. To maximize the opportunity to achieve these goals, this symposium will be held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Teratology Society, June 29-30, 2000 at The Breakers Hotel, Palm Beach, Florida. To encourage Teratology Society members to attend, particularly students and young scientists, we will offer a reduced registration for those attending the Teratology Society meeting. In addition, we will offer $500 travel awards to 10 students chosen on the basis of a submitted abstract. We will also inform other teratologists and developmental toxicologists of this symposium by placing advertisements in appropriate journals (Teratology, Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, Environmental Health Perspectives) and by email notices to the membership of the Teratology Society and the Society of Toxicology. To communicate the results of this symposium, a meeting summary will be published in the journal Teratology and/or the journal Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology.
