Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS) 47th Annual Meeting

Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS) 47th Annual Meeting is organized by Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS) and would be held during Sep 24 - 28, 2016 at The Westin Kansas City at Crown Center, Kansas City, Missouri, United States of America.

The theme of the EMGS 47th Annual Meeting is “From Environment to [Epi]Genome and Back Again,” encompassing areas of current genome research that converge on issues of environmental exposure, how cells and organisms respond to such challenges, and how this information can be used to promote human health.

Emphasis areas include:
• Molecular mechanisms of DNA damage and repair
• Integrating DNA repair with cell and tissue biology, including inflammation
• Molecular mechanisms of epigenetic regulation and inheritance
• Impact of DNA repair and epigenetics on heritable disease, cancer, and other adverse outcomes
• Mechanisms and consequences of mutagenesis in germline and soma
• Genomic and sequencing applications in cancer and genetic toxicology
• New risk agents in genetic toxicology, including nanomaterials
• Cutting-edge technologies in environmental genetic science, including stem cell and tissue models
• Emerging biomarkers in hazard and risk assessment, including microRNAs and epigenomics
• Transgenerational impact of exposures, including transplacental effects
• High throughput data, technologies, and applications, including computation toxicology
