9th International Conference on Environmental Mutagens: Student Travel Expenses

描述(由申请人提供) 我们请求支持学生和新的研究人员(博士学位5年内，以下简称“学生”)参加由环境诱变剂学会(EMS)主办的第九届国际环境诱变剂会议(第九届ICEM)。会议将于2005年9月3日至8日在加利福尼亚州旧金山安巴卡迪罗凯悦酒店举行。ICEM每四年举行一次，上一次在美国举办是在16年前。我们预计将在全球吸引1200名参与者，其中包括大约200名学生和新的调查人员，他们与EMS和许多其他国家的相应环境诱变剂协会的成员有关联。EMS是致力于了解突变的基本机制及其对人类遗传病、癌症和衰老的影响的主要科学协会。EMS的独特之处在于，它也是这一领域的相关应用科学协会，包括遗传毒性风险评估和监管事项。对于对转基因技术的开发和应用感兴趣的研究人员来说，它是合适的社团，用于毒理学研究，并开发研究突变、诱变机制、环境致癌物和模型细胞系统中的DNA修复以及人类的方法。第九届ICEM的主题是“遗传毒理学和环境诱变中的全球问题”。为了突出这些问题并探索应对这些对我们集体健康的全球威胁的解决方案，第九届ICEM将举办46场研讨会、2场主旨讲座和12场来自环境突变及相关领域世界领导人的全体讲座。将学生和新的研究人员培养成富有成效的研究科学家和全球环境诱变剂协会的正式成员是EMS和ICEM的一个关键目标。为学生提供参加ICEM的机会是他们发展的关键因素。会议期间计划了各种活动，以使学生融入会议的全部活动。学生成就奖将颁发给提交摘要在ICEM演讲的学生。选择获奖者的主要标准将是摘要的科学质量、导师的推荐信以及摘要与EMS/ICEM的科学兴趣的相关性。奖项将不分性别、种族、民族、国籍或残疾。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) We request support for students and new investigators (within 5 year years of doctoral degree, hereafter "students") to participate in the 9th International Conference on Environmental Mutagens (9th ICEM) hosted by the Environmental Mutagen Society (EMS). The meeting will be held September 3-8, 2005 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel at the Embarcadero in San Francisco, CA. The ICEM is held every 4 years and was last hosted in the US 16 years ago. We anticipate attracting 1200 participants worldwide, including about 200 students and new investigators who are associated with members of the EMS and corresponding environmental mutagen societies in many other countries. The EMS is the primary scientific society devoted to the understanding of the basic mechanisms of mutagenesis and their implications for human genetic disease, cancer, and aging. The EMS is unique in that it also is the relevant society for applied science in this field, including genotoxicity risk assessment and regulatory matters. It is the appropriate society for researchers interested in the development and application of transgenic technology for toxicological studies and for the development of methods for studying mutations, mutagenic mechanisms, environmental carcinogens, and DNA repair in model cellular systems as well as humans. The theme for the 9th ICEM is "Global Issues in Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis." To highlight these issues and to explore solutions to these global threats to our collective health, the 9th ICEM will offer 46 symposia, 2 keynote lectures, and 12 plenary lectures from the world leaders in environmental mutagenesis and related fields. The development of students and new investigators onto productive research scientists and full participating members of the Environmental Mutagen societies, worldwide is a key goal of the EMS and ICEM. Providing students with the opportunity to participate in the ICEM is a critical factor in their development. A variety of activities during the meeting have been planned to integrate students into the full activities of the meeting. Student achievement awards will be made to students who submit an abstract for a presentation at the ICEM. Primary criteria for selection of awardees will be the scientific quality of the abstract, a letter of recommendation from the mentor, and relevance of the abstract to the scientific interests of the EMS/ICEM. Awards will be made without regard to gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, or disability.
