Immunoanalysis: Applications and Trends for Environmental Monitoring and Human Health (#94)

 描述(由申请人提供)：NIEHS的一项重要使命是了解人类健康结果与环境暴露之间的关系。解决这一问题的研究通常会产生大量样本，分析成本可能很高，有时会造成进行研究的障碍。免疫分析是一种以抗体为基础的技术，广泛应用于各种分析的快速、高通量和成本效益分析，包括环境污染物、食品掺假/污染物、药物、生物恐怖制剂和转基因生物/蛋白质等。因此，免疫分析是分析化学家的重要工具。本申请书请求召开题为“免疫分析：环境监测和人类健康的应用和趋势(第94号)”的专题讨论会，作为将于12月15日至20日在夏威夷火奴鲁鲁举行的2015年国际太平洋会议的一部分。研讨会的目的是将来自不同国家的学术界、政府和工业界的研究人员和监管机构聚集在一起，促进思想交流，展示免疫分析领域的新技术，并研究该技术在保护人类和环境健康方面的应用。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): An important mission of NIEHS is to understand the relationship between human health outcomes and environmental exposures. Studies that address this issue often generate large sample loads that can be costly to analyze sometimes creating a barrier to conducting the study. Immunoassays are an antibody-based technology that has wide application for rapid, high throughput, cost-effective analysis of a wide variety of analyses, including environmental contaminants, food adulterants/contaminants, drugs, bioterror agents and genetically modified organisms/proteins to name of few. Thus immunoassays are an important tool for the analytical chemist. This application requests partial for a symposium entitled "Immunoanalysis: Applications and Trends for Environmental Monitoring and Human Health (#94)" to be conducted as part of the international Pacifichem 2015 conference to be held December 15-20 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The intent of the proposed symposium is to bring together researchers and regulators from academia, government and industry from different countries to facilitate the exchange of ideas, showcase new technology in the immunoassay field and examine the application of the technology to the protection of human and environmental health.
