Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS) Annual Meeting 2019-2023

环境诱变和基因组学协会（EMGS）成立于1969年，为环境诱变和基因组学提供了一个论坛。 建立和支持环境诱变领域的科学家。该协会的使命是 (1)促进对DNA损伤和修复的原因和机制基础的科学研究和教育， 诱变、遗传效应、基因组功能的表观遗传改变及其与疾病的相关性，以及 (2)为了促进这一知识在遗传毒理学测试中的应用和交流， 评估和监管政策制定，以保护人类健康和环境。 在过去的49年里，EMGS成员已经做出了许多与地球物理学有关的最重要的发现。 诱发突变的机制、DNA修复缺陷的作用以及由此产生的突变在毒理学中的作用 和疾病易感性，以及评估环境暴露于诱变剂的风险的挑战。 认识到其多样化的专业人士交流思想和最新实验的重要性 1970年3月22日至25日，EMGS在华盛顿举行了第一次会议，并继续进行 传统，为这些专业人士提供每年聚会的场所。每年，环境管理和全球监测系统年会 计划委员会努力代表社会的全部力量，包括大部分的 目前的研究领域集中在环境暴露以及细胞和生物体如何 应对这些挑战。在这份提案中，我们要求资金支付2019年的部分费用- 2023年EMGS年会。 2019年计划委员会安排了一个杰出而广泛的科学计划，包括 研讨会、专题讨论会、平台和海报会议。为了纪念我们的50周年， 社会，我们聚集了发言者简要地谈论过去，现在，和未来的一些主要的 由EMGS成员代表的兴趣领域。除了科学计划，年会 将召集代表协会多样性的九个特别兴趣小组（SIG）的会议。

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 49 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 2019– 2023 EMGS Annual Meetings. The 2019 Program Committee has arranged for an outstanding and expansive scientific program that consists of a workshop, symposia, and platform and poster sessions. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of our Society, we have assembled speakers to talk briefly about the past, present, and future of some of the main fields of interest represented by the EMGS membership. 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.
