Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS) Annual Meeting 2014-2018

项目摘要/摘要 环境突变和基因组学会(EMGS)成立于1969年，旨在 为建立和支持环境领域的科学家提供论坛 诱变。该学会的使命是：(1)促进科学研究和教育 DNA损伤和修复的原因和机制基础，突变，遗传效应， 基因组功能的表观遗传变化及其与疾病的相关性，以及(2)促进 将这一知识应用于遗传毒理学测试、风险评估、 以及制定监管政策，以保护人类健康和环境。 在过去的45年里，EMGS成员做出了许多最重要的发现 关于突变的诱导机制、DNA修复缺陷的作用和 毒理学和疾病易感性的结果突变以及评估的挑战 环境暴露于诱变剂的风险。 认识到其专业人员多样化组合的重要性，以交流思想和最新 实验结果，EMGS于1970年3月22-25日在华盛顿特区举行了第一次会议， 并延续了这一传统，为这些专业人士提供了每年聚会的场所。 每年，EMGS年度会议计划委员会都努力代表全领域 学会的优势，涵盖了当前研究的大部分汇聚领域 关于环境暴露的问题以及细胞和生物体如何应对 挑战。在这项提案中，我们要求提供资金来支付2014年的部分费用- 2018年EMGS年会。 2014年计划委员会安排了一项杰出而广泛的科学 该计划由研讨会、座谈会、平台和海报会议组成。一次会议 亮点将是45周年纪念会议，由高级演讲者与Elear合作举办 职业科学家提供关于研究领域的观点，这些领域是 社会。除了科学计划外，年会还将召开 代表社会多样性的九个特殊利益集团(SIG)。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS) was founded in 1969 to provide a forum for the establishment and support of scientists in the field of environmental mutagenesis. The mission of the Society is (1) to foster scientific research and education on the causes and mechanistic bases of DNA damage and repair, mutagenesis, heritable effects, epigenetic alterations in genome function, and their relevance to disease, and (2) to promote the application and communication of this knowledge to genetic toxicology testing, risk assessment, and regulatory policy-making to protect human health and the environment. For the past 45 years, EMGS members have made many of the most important discoveries pertaining to the mechanisms of the induction of mutations, the roles of DNA repair defects and resulting mutations in toxicology and disease susceptibility, and the challenges of assessing risks from environmental exposures to mutagens. Recognizing the importance of its diverse mix of professionals to exchange ideas and the latest experimental findings, the EMGS held its first meeting in Washington, DC on March 22-25, 1970, and has continued this tradition by providing a venue for these professionals to meet annually. Each year, the EMGS Annual Meeting Program Committee strives to represent the full spectrum of strengths of the Society, encompassing most of the areas of current research that converge on the issues of environmental exposure and how cells and organisms respond to such challenges. In this proposal, we are requesting funds to defray part of the expenses for 2014- 2018 EMGS Annual Meetings. The 2014 Program Committee has arranged for an outstanding and expansive scientific program that consists of a workshop, symposia, and platform and poster sessions. A meeting highlight will be the 45th Anniversary Session featuring senior speakers partnered with early career scientists to provide a perspective on the research areas that are the foundation of the Society. In addition to the scientific program, the Annual Meeting will convene meetings of the nine Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that represent the diversity of the Society.
