Environmental Health Conferences
Workshop: Genomics in Cancer Risk Assessment
August 27-28, 2009
Venice, Italy
Co-organized by the carcinoGENOMICS Program, ECVAM, HESI Application of Genomics to Mechanism-based Risk Assessment Technical Committee, Netherlands Genomics Initiative
Workshop Overview: This satellite meeting focuses on international research efforts in toxicogenomics, in particular in the domain of cancer risk assessment. In the scientific program, special emphasis will be given to development and evaluation of alternative in vitro models that have the potential to significantly reduce the use of laboratory animals. The participants will interact with leading experts from academia, industry, and governmental research and regulatory agencies. The outcome of the symposium is to identify promising approaches and identify gaps that need to be addressed in order to implement genomic approaches into a new safety evaluation strategy for drugs and chemicals that will satisfy current and future demands.
Space is limited so be sure to register early. Additional information concerning the scientific program, the venue and registration can be found at the Workshop Web Site - http://www.hesiglobal.org/Committees/TechnicalCommittees/Genomics/Genomics_CRA_Venice.htm
Benzene 2009: Health Effects and Mechanisms of Bone Marrow Toxicity. Implications for t-AML and the Mode of Action Framework will be held September 7-11, 2009 at Technische Universität München, Munich Germany. A satellite meeting to Eurotox 2009, Benzene 2009 will:
- Review the relationship between bone marrow toxicity and leukemia;
- Discuss recent studies on the epidemiology of benzene-induced diseases;
- Explore mechanistic studies of reactive metabolites and reactive oxygen species, transgenics and signal transduction, DNA damage and repair;
•
- Evaluate exposure metrics and biomarkers; and
- Place the evidence in context using a mode-of-action approach to inform risk assessment.
Abstracts are invited for poster and plenary presentations (deadline for submitting: June 30, 2009). Travel fellowships are available for students or postdoctoral researchers. For further information, please visit www.tum-benzenesymposium.de.
