Dear Colleagues,
It is an honor and a great pleasure to
welcome you to the Seventh
International Symposium on Recent
Advances in Environmental Health
Research being held at the Marriott
Hotel in Jackson, Mississippi, USA, from
September 12 to 15, 2010.
This important event will be the sixth
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!!!
