2005 Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins Gordon Conference

描述(由申请人提供) 霉菌毒素和藻毒素是食品的污染物，其中许多已知或怀疑会导致世界各地的人类和动物疾病。由于它们的发生往往不在我们监管机构的控制范围之内，因此旨在更好地了解影响疾病的因素并控制毒素产生的研究对于确保准确的风险评估和制定及时的风险管理策略至关重要。2005年戈登霉菌毒素和藻毒素研究会议将于6月19日至24日在密苏里州沃特维尔的科尔比学院举行。今年会议的目标将是汇聚领导人，展示尖端研究，促进科学交流，产生新想法，促进新合作。我们预计最多有130名科学家参与。由于NIEHS过去对这次会议的支持和兴趣，我们特别注意确保计划议程、邀请的与会者和这次会议对该领域的预期影响反映NIEHS对真菌毒素和藻毒素研究的主要研究兴趣、承诺和贡献。该计划将出现在2月号的《科学》、《真菌毒理学通讯》、GRC邮件和网页上，并邮寄给我们感兴趣的个人名单。许多会议涵盖了NIEHS发起的研究项目或计划兴趣产生的主题，包括毒素基因组学、毒性分子机制和动物模型研究。其他专题包括：风险评估；新毒素和合成化学；毒素诱导和生物合成；检测方法的进展；缓解和控制；动物模型和慢性暴露评估。还将有几个海报会议，以及“热门话题”和学生/博士后演讲。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) Mycotoxins and phycotoxins are contaminants of food many of which are known or suspected to cause human and animal diseases worldwide. Because their occurrence is often beyond the control of our regulatory agencies, research designed to better understand the factors that influence disease and control toxin production are essential for ensuring accurate risk assessment and developing timely risk management strategies. The 2005 Gordon Research Conference on Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins will be held from 19 to 24 June at Colby College, Waterville, ME. The objective of this year's conference will be to bring together leaders, presenting cutting-edge research, promoting scientific exchange, generating new ideas and fostering new collaborations. We expect maximum participation of 130 scientists. Because of the support and interest of NIEHS in this conference in the past, we have taken particular care to assure that the program agenda, invited participants and the expected impact of this meeting on the field reflect major NIEHS research interests, commitments, and contributions to mycotoxin and phycotoxin research. The program will appear in the February issue of Science, issues of Mycotoxicology Newsletter, GRC mailings and web page, and mailing to our list of interested individuals. Many of the sessions encompass topics that have grown out of NIEHS initiated research projects or program interests including toxicogenomics, molecular mechanisms of toxicity and animal model studies. Other session topics include - Risk Assessment; New Toxins and Synthetic Chemistry; Toxin Induction and Biosynthesis; Advancements in Detection Methods; Mitigation and Control; Animal Models and Assessing Chronic Exposures. There will also be several poster sessions, and "Hot Topic" and student/postdoctoral presentations.
