NTP UPDATE: NAS announces July Epigenetics Workshopț
From: ntpmail-bounces@... on behalf of ntpmail@...
Sent: July 2, 2009 6:12:24 PM
To: ntpmail@... (ntpmail@...)
At the request of the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), the National Academy of Sciences formed the Standing Committee on Use of Emerging Science for Environmental Health Decisions to facilitate communication among government, industry, environmental groups, and academic community about scientific advances that may be used in the identification, quantification, and control of environmental impacts on human health.
Registration is now open for National Academy of Sciences Workshop: Use of Emerging Science and Technologies to Explore Epigenetic Mechanisms Underlying the Developmental Basis for Disease. The Academies' new Standing Committee on Use of Emerging Science for Environmental Health Decisions is convening the workshop July 30-31 (Thursday 8:30-5:30 and Friday 8:30-noon) at the Keck Building, Washington, DC. For additional information and to register for the workshop, visit http://dels.nas.edu/envirohealth/epigenetic.shtml
This workshop will explore epigenetic effects that chemicals may cause, resulting in heritable and perhaps transgenerational changes not associated with sequence changes in DNA. How much agreement is there about the importance of these effects? Should screening tests or animal bioassays be developed to detect such effects? What would they look for? Are humans sensitive to such impacts during particular developmental periods? Topics will include the most pressing needs for research to improve the state of the science on epigenetic effects, existing and emerging tools for detecting epigenetic effects, implications for decision-makers, and strategies for communicating information to the public.
Visit the Website http://nas.edu/envirohealth (see "Subscribe for Updates") to register to receive updates on the activities of the NAS committee.
