2016 Environmental Endocrine Disruptors Gordon Research Conference & Gordon Research Seminar

 戈登环境内分泌干扰物研究会议（GRC）仍然是内分泌干扰物研究领域的首要会议，2016年是关键，因为许多具有里程碑意义的周年纪念日正在发生，包括这次会议的10周年。在开幕式全体会议上，2016年GRC将纪念这些重要的里程碑和周年纪念日，然后通过促进讨论和参与来解决未来监管决策，公共卫生政策和临床实践的数据差距和长期研究需求，将其全部注意力转向未来。根据这一中心使命，该计划专门设计为新的科学和科学家，突出跨学科的努力，并参与该领域的所有利益相关者。一个主要的目标是提供一个综合的观点，内分泌干扰化学品（EDCs）如何影响人类和生态系统的健康，通过在野生动物的观察与机械实验室研究，使用新的模型系统和人类的临床和流行病学研究。会议主题包括跨代表观遗传，新出现的污染物和个体间（群体水平）的脆弱性;在本系列的前几次会议中没有很好地涵盖的主题，但在EDC研究的最前沿。2016年的会议也是独特的，因为每一届会议都包括机械和人类临床和流行病学研究。另外还为新出现的专题讲座预留了一场会议，从提交的摘要中选出，以确保介绍最新成果（特别是青年科学家的成果）。该研讨会始于1998年，至今仍是一个独特的论坛，吸引了来自各个研究领域的研究人员，他们对内分泌干扰物对野生动物和人类健康的影响有着共同的兴趣。每一次演讲都与NIEHS的使命直接相关。它每两年举行一次，由与会者决定，由全球资源中心组织，该组织以其会议的高质量和前沿性而闻名。该研究中心吸引了来自基础科学、临床医学、流行病学、公共卫生、政府、非政府组织和行业的专家，也许是所有研究中心中最广泛的群体。2016年会议将于2016年6月19日至24日在缅因州纽里的星期日河举行，以及相关的戈登研究研讨会（GRS; 6月18日至19日），面向早期阶段的调查人员和学员，并为网络，职业发展和项目开发/反馈提供论坛。科学讨论，研究讲座，海报会议，以及GRC和GRS参与者之间的非正式互动将大大有助于促进我们对人类健康内分泌干扰的新分子机制的理解。在此形成的互动和合作将为未来的国际努力提供坚实的基础，以了解和减轻内分泌干扰的重要公共卫生问题。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Environmental Endocrine Disruptors continues to be the premier meeting in the field of endocrine disruptor research and 2016 is pivotal because numerous landmark anniversaries are occurring, including the 10th anniversary of this meeting. In the opening plenary, the 2016 GRC will mark these critical milestones and anniversaries, and then turn its full attention to the futue by promoting discussion and engagement addressing data gaps and long-term research needs for future regulatory decision making, public health policy, and clinical practice. Under this central mission, the program was specifically designed to feature new science and scientists, highlight interdisciplinary efforts, and engage the full spectrum of stakeholders in the field. A primary goal is to provide an integrated view of how endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) affect human and ecosystem health by linking observations in wildlife with mechanistic laboratory studies using novel model systems and human clinical and epidemiological studies. Session topics include transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, emerging contaminants, and inter-individual (population level) vulnerability; topics not well covered in previous meetings in this series, but at the forefront of EDC research. The 2016 meeting is also distinct because mechanistic and human clinical and epidemiological studies are included in every session. An additional session has been reserved for emerging topic talks to be selected from submitted abstracts to ensure that the latest results (particularly from young scientists) are presented. Thi GRC began in 1998 and remains a unique forum to attract researchers from across the research spectrum who shared common interests in the effects of EDCs on wildlife and human health. Every talk is directly related to the mission of the NIEHS. Held biennially and shaped by its participants, it is organized by the GRC, an organization internationally known for the high quality, cutting-edge nature of its meetings. This GRC attracts experts from basic science, clinical medicine, epidemiology, public health, government, NGOs, and industry, perhaps the widest constituency of any GRC. The 2016 meeting will be held at Sunday River in Newry, Maine on June 19-24, 2016, together with an associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS; June 18-19) which is oriented toward early stage investigators and trainees and provides a forum for networking, career development, and project development/feedback. The scientific discussions, research talks, poster sessions, and informal interactions among the participants of the GRC and GRS will greatly contribute to advancing our understanding of novel molecular mechanisms involved in endocrine disruption of human health. The interactions and collaborations forged here will provide a strong base for future international efforts to understand and mitigate the important public health problem of endocrine disruption.
