Established scientists, new investigators, postdoctoral fellows and students –
I extend a warm welcome and cordially invite you to attend the 51st Annual Meeting of the Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EMGS). On September 12-16, 2020, we will gather in Palm Springs, CA to study groundbreaking research, network with other peers and discuss topics related to mutagenesis, DNA repair, genomics, genetic toxicology, epigenetics, heritable diseases, and other fields.
This year, we are pleased to welcome a stellar cast of keynote speakers, including:
Fifteen symposia on topics of societal interest are on the docket, as well as social activities involving a pool, a local brewery and dancing. And you definitely won't want to miss the early morning meetings of our special interest groups!
