SOT CCT PPTOXII Abstracts Due October 21, 2009
The next SOT Contemporary Concepts in Toxicology (CCT) Meeting, PPTOXII: Role of Environmental Stressors in the Developmental Origins of Disease, will be held December 7–10, 2009, in Miami Beach, Florida, at the Loews Hotel. The objective of this conference on prenatal programming and toxicity (PPTOX) is to do a disease-by-disease examination of the animal and human data supporting this hypothesis (developmental basis of disease) in order to review the current state of the literature and to identify mechanisms for the effects, as well as to identify research gaps and challenges and to integrate the basic and applied science.
Because of its international significance, the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary nature of the speakers, and the attendance and participation of students from multiple disciplines, this meeting is expected to stimulate collaborations that will lead to the development and validation of biomarkers of exposure and disease susceptibility, improvement of exposure assessment, and extrapolation across species and routes of exposure.
The products of this meeting will include knowledge of the state-of-the-science, the development of collaborations among participants, and an overview of the conference report in Toxicological Sciences, as well as publication of the presentations in other journals focusing on the developmental origins of disease paradigm. For more information and to submit an abstract (October 21 deadline), please visit the CCT PPTOXII section of the Web site.
