7th Conference on Metal Toxicity & Carcinogenesis
The 7th
Conference on Metal Toxicity and Carcinogenesis” will be held October 21-24,
2012 at Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town Albuquerque, New Mexico. The meeting
is sponsored by NIH/NIEHS and by the College of Pharmacy, Health Sciences
Center, and Cancer Center, University of New Mexico.
The interdisciplinary scientific conference is an international
workshop that brings together a community of scientists in the area of metal
toxicity and carcinogenicity.
·
The focus
will be mechanisms of metal-induced toxicity, strategies for intervention
and prevention, and possible translation from basic studies into clinical or
public policy. The objectives of Conference are to coordinate, exchange, and
disseminate information and to explore metal-induced toxicity and
carcinogenicity.
·
Diseases caused by occupational and environmental exposure to metals are one
of the major public health concerns. The underlying molecular mechanisms of
metal toxicity and carcinogenicity are largely unknown.
·
The
Conference will stimulate interactions of scientists and collaborations and
help move the field forward.
The conference content will challenge and seek to shift current research
paradigms, or employ novel approaches or methods to fulfill its purpose.
·
The conference will cover concepts, approaches or methodologies,
instrumentation, or interventions novel to the field of metal toxicity and
carcinogenicity as well as in a broad sense. The conference will also
address a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical
concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions.
·
Furthermore, the conference will provide the opportunity for students,
postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty to learn the latest progress in
metal research directly from the experts in the field, and to present their
exciting findings to the most appropriate audience.
