Dear
Colleagues,
It is an honor and a great pleasure
to welcome you to the Fifth
International Symposium on Recent
Advances in Environmental Health
Research being held at the Marriott
Hotel in Jackson, Mississippi, USA,
from September 14 to 17, 2008. This
important event will be the fifth
World Congress held in Jackson, MS,
USA, on important issues related to
environmental quality and human
health.
This symposium is a contribution to
global research and education in the
exciting field of Environmental
Science, Biomedical Science and
Public Health. Its over-arcing
objective is to promote
interdisciplinary discussions and
international scientific
collaborations, as well as to
increase awareness of global
environmental and public health
issues facing our state, nation, and
the international community.
This year, we are expecting
colleagues from several countries,
representing all five continents.
The scientific program is composed
of seven plenary sessions where
oral/platform presentations will be
given by invited speakers. In
addition, there will be two poster
sessions - one for faculty and
professional scientists, and one for
students. Both plenary lectures and
poster presentations will deal with
many crucial issues, such as
environmental toxicology and health
risk assessment; nanoscience,
nanotechnology and nanotoxicology;
emerging issues in computational
biology and environmental modeling;
environmental geology and human
health; new frontiers in
environmental health research;
natural resources damage assessment
and management; and health
disparities and environmental
security.
As in previous years, we are very
excited about this international
symposium, and believe that it will
continue to provide a strong forum
to communicate and share knowledge
of the latest advances in scientific
research and new developments on
timely issues related to
environmental quality and human
health. We would like to express
our sincere appreciation to all our
colleagues and staff who are working
very hard to ensure that this
upcoming symposium is successful. We
invite all of you to submit
abstracts for presentation, and to
take advantage of this unique
opportunity to share your scientific
expertise. Together, we can make
this symposium a marvelous
scientific and social event.
We look forward to the opportunity
to personally meet each of you in
Jackson!!!
