General Hospital Vienna, Währinger Gürtel 18-20, 1090 Wien (details will be provided).
Date, costs and registration:
June 6th, 10 a.m. till 6 p.m. Participation will be free of charge (including lunch and coffee break), but participants have to register via the link on the registration site of the main conference.
Topics and background information:
The workshop will be a satellite event of the 53rd Congress of the European Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society. In the frame of the workshop, international experts will give lectures, that describe the use of human biomonitoring techniques to detect damage of the genetic material in different areas of research. They will include genotoxicity studies in occupational settings, induction and prevention of DNA damage by nutritional factors, effects of lifestyle and environmental exposures, and the predictive value of different genotoxicity tests for the detection of human cancer risks and for the assessment of adverse therapeutic effects.
