2nd Southern Genome Maintenance Conference

第二届南方基因组维护大会将于2021年6月26日至27日在佛罗里达州迈阿密举行。这个 会议将是两年一度的南方基因组维护会议的延续，即 预计每隔一年在墨西哥湾沿岸和美国南部地区的不同城市举行。这个 第二次会议将在佛罗里达国际大学/州立大学莫德斯托·迈迪克校区举行 佛罗里达大学系统于2021年6月26日星期六上午11点开始，至6月27日星期日结束， 2021年，下午2：30会议将从主旨演讲开始，然后是精选自以下内容的简短演讲 提交的摘要。前两次会议将于周六举行，随后将举行海报发布会议。第三次会议 将在周日举行。这次会议的目的是集中讨论与主要学科密切相关的主题 由于独特的环境，墨西哥湾沿岸和南部各州地区的公共卫生问题 暴露于癌症、与年龄相关的神经病等疾病中的暴露、人口多样化和健康差异 紊乱和代谢性疾病。 1)DNA修复、基因组完整性与疾病 2)基因组完整性的环境影响 3)对环境暴露和环境疾病的表观转录反应。 有几个国家会议的重点是DNA修复和基因组的稳定性/完整性。然而，在那里 在讨论环境对基因组完整性的影响方面存在着显著的差距， 表位转录，以及通过DNA修复的疾病是这次会议的重点。这次会议， 以及未来的一系列会议，旨在为讨论问题提供极好的机会 与该地区的环境暴露和疾病有关。会议还将提供一个独特的会场 用于介绍创新发现和科学，更重要的是，面向学生、博士后研究员、 和新的研究人员(I)与主旨演讲者面对面互动和(Ii)介绍他们的创新研究。 此外，由于会议将在佛罗里达国际大学举行，这是世界上最大的大学之一 作为美国少数群体机构的一部分，我们期待这次会议将激励和促进代表不足的少数群体 通过为学生提供讨论的机会来参与基础研究和翻译研究 与资深科学家和同事一起分享他们创造性的科学想法。因此，会议的主要目标是 创造一个独特的机会，将作为基因组和表位转录完整性基础的DNA修复与 环境疾病。会议还将促进关于世界稳定的跨学科合作。 基因组和表位编码组与环境疾病。此外，会议将提供一个 为学生，特别是少数民族学生，早期职业生涯和高级调查人员讨论的良好环境 他们的新发现并提升了下一代科学家。

The 2nd Southern Genome Maintenance Conference will be held on June 26-27, 2021, in Miami, Florida. The conference will be the continuation of the biennial Southern Genome Maintenance Conference, which is expected to be held at different cities around the Gulf Coast and Southern US regions every other year. The second conference will be held at the Modesto Maidique Campus of Florida International University/The State University System of Florida on Saturday, June 26, 2021, starting at 11 AM and ending on Sunday, June 27, 2021, at 2:30 PM. The conference sessions will start with a keynote lecture followed by short talks selected from submitted abstracts. The first two sessions will be on Saturday with a poster session to follow. The third session will be on Sunday. The conference is intended to focus on the topics, which are closely relevant to the major public health issues in the regions of the Gulf Coast and the Southern States due to the unique environmental exposures, diversified population, and health disparities in diseases such as cancer, age-related neurological disorders, and metabolic diseases. 1) DNA Repair, Genome Integrity and Diseases 2) Environmental Influences of Genome Integrity 3) Epitranscriptomic Responses to Environmental Exposures and Environmental Diseases. There are several national conferences that focus on DNA repair and genome stability/integrity. However, there is a significant gap in the opportunities for discussions on the environmental impact on genome integrity, epitranscriptomes, and diseases through DNA repair that are the focus of this conference. This conference, along with the future series of the conference, aims at providing excellent opportunities for discussions on issues relevant to environmental exposure and diseases in the regions. The conference will also provide a unique venue for presentations of innovative discoveries and science, and more importantly, for students, postdoctoral fellows, and new investigators to (i) interact with keynote speakers in person and (ii) to present their innovative research. Furthermore, since the conference will be held at Florida International University, which is one of the largest minority institutions in the US, we expect that the conference will inspire and promote under-represented minority students to participate in basic and translational research by providing them with the opportunities of discussing their creative scientific ideas with senior scientists and colleagues. Thus, the major goal of the conference is to create a unique opportunity that bridges DNA repair that underlies genome and epitranscriptome integrity with environmental diseases. The conference will also foster interdisciplinary collaboration on the stability of the genome and epitranscriptome and environmental diseases. Furthermore, the conference will provide an excellent environment for students, especially minority students, early career and senior investigators to discuss their new findings and enhance the next generation of scientists.
