描述（由申请人提供） “第八届金属毒性和致癌作用会议”将于2014年10月19日至22日在新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基的阿尔伯克基酒店举行。 研究人员建议继续这一系列会议，该会议在过去14年中已经发展成为关于金属毒性和致癌性的首要会议。会议将由新墨西哥州药学院、健康科学中心、临床与转化科学中心和癌症中心赞助。跨学科科学会议是一个研讨会，汇集了来自美国各地和海外的金属毒性和致癌性领域的科学家社区。会议的目标是协调、交流和传播信息，并探讨金属诱导的毒性和致癌性。重点将是金属诱导的毒性机制，干预和预防策略，以及从基础研究到临床或公共政策的可能转化。会议内容将 挑战并寻求改变当前的研究范式，或采用新的方法或手段来实现其目的。会议将涵盖金属毒性和致癌性领域以及广义上的概念，方法或方法，仪器或干预措施。会议还将讨论理论概念，方法或方法，仪器或干预措施的改进，改进或新应用。会议将促进科学家的互动和合作，并有助于推动该领域的发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) "The 8th Conference on Metal Toxicity and Carcinogenesis" will be held October 19-22, 2014 at Hotel Albuquerque, Albuquerque, New Mexico. The investigators propose to continue this conference series that has evolved over the last 14 years to become the premier conference on metal toxicity and carcinogenesis. The meeting will be sponsored by the University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy, Health Sciences Center, Clinical & Translational Science Center, and Cancer Center. The interdisciplinary scientific conference is a workshop that brings together a community of scientists in the area of metal toxicity and carcinogenicity from around the U.S. and some from overseas. The objectives of the meeting are to coordinate, exchange, and disseminate information and to explore metal-induced toxicity and carcinogenicity. The focus will be mechanisms of metal-induced toxicity, strategies for intervention and prevention, and possible translation from basic studies into clinical or public policy. The conference content will challenge and seek to shift current research paradigms, or employ novel approaches or methods to fulfill its purpose. The conference will cover concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions novel to the field of metal toxicity and carcinogenicity as well as in a broad sense. The conference will also address a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions. The conference will stimulate interactions of scientists and collaborations and help move the field forward.
