# The 11th Conference on Metal Toxicity and Carcinogenesis

> **NIH NIH R13** · UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO HEALTH SCIS CTR · 2020 · $8,000

## Abstract

ABSTRACT
“The 11th Conference on Metal Toxicity and Carcinogenesis” will be held at the Delta Hotel, Montréal, Québec,
Canada October 18-21, 2020. We propose to continue this biennial conference series that has evolved over
the last 20 years to become the premier conference in the field of metal toxicity and carcinogenesis. The
meeting will be co-sponsored by the Lady Davis Institute of Medical Research at the Jewish General Hospital
(a teaching hospital of McGill University) and the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center. This
interdisciplinary scientific conference is a workshop that brings together a community of scientists in the area of
metal toxicity and carcinogenicity from around the U.S. and some from overseas. The objectives of the meeting
are to coordinate, exchange, and disseminate information and to explore metal-induced toxicity and
carcinogenicity. The focus will be mechanisms of metal-induced toxicity, strategies for intervention and
prevention, and possible translation from basic studies into clinical or public policy. The conference content will
challenge and seek to shift current research paradigms, or employ novel approaches or methods to fulfill its
purpose. The conference will cover concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions
novel to the field of metal toxicity and carcinogenicity as well as in a broad sense. The conference will also
address a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies,
instrumentation, or interventions. The Conference will stimulate interactions of scientists and collaborations
and help move the field forward.
