Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS) 48th Annual Meeting

Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS) 48th Annual Meeting is organized by Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS) and would be held during Sep 9 - 13, 2017 at Raleigh Marriott City Center, Raleigh, North Carolina, United States Of America.

Environmental exposures pose a complex and constantly evolving threat to genomic integrity, putting our children and ourselves at increased risk of disease. The EMGS Annual Meeting uniquely brings together leading scientists from academia, industry, and government to discuss cutting-edge research aimed at understanding and mitigating environmental threats to the genome and to the epigenome.

Emphasis areas include :
• Computational Toxicology
• Trans-generational epigenetic inheritance
• Environmental causes of Autism
• Water contaminants and public safety
• Environmental influence and the Epigenome
• Covalent DNA modifications in Epigenetics
• Mass spectroscopic analysis of environmental mutagens
• Whole Exome Sequencing in Environmental Disease
• Novel Genomic Editing: CRISPR-Cas9 Applications in Toxicology
• DNA Repair and DNA damage response of stem cells to genotoxins
• Mutations in Humans and Risk for Disease
• Environmental impact on telomere stability
• Toxicity and occupational disease caused by inhalation exposure to food flavorings
• Single-molecule approaches for examination of DNA repair mechanisms
