The National Center for Toxicological
Research (NCTR) conducts peer-reviewed scientific research that
supports the FDA's current and future regulatory needs. This
involves fundamental and applied research specifically designed to
define biological mechanisms of action underlying the toxicity of
products regulated by the FDA. This research is aimed at
understanding critical biological events in the expression of
toxicity and at developing methods to improve assessment of human
exposure, susceptibility and risk. New DNA-, RNA- and protein-based
tools will allow NCTR scientists to better understand the models
used to predict toxicity in humans. Iintegrated programs that apply
expertise in transgenics, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics,
computational biology and biomarkers are being developed.

(With Refreshments and
Cash Bar)
The Poster Session is a
hi-light of this meeting and provides an ideal venue to discuss
research details and form collaborations. Free communications from
poster on any topic of neuroscience and toxicology are welcome. It
is scheduled for Wednesday, November 20, 2002 from 7:00 until 9:00
PM. Papers will be grouped by topic and scheduled by title and
authors in the Final Program. You will be assigned a number for the
exact location of your poster. The author giving a poster
presentation must be registered for the Conference; co-authors need
not be registered.
DISPLAYS: Each
presentation is assigned a 4' by 6' corkboard on which to display
data. Please identify your poster with a title and the names of the
investigators in 1" lettering at the top of the display. Post a
copy of your abstract. Presenters should provide their own push pins
(5/8" long) for attaching posters to the display unit. The
poster boards will be available by noon on Monday, November 18,
2002. Posters should be set up by Tuesday morning to be available
for as long as possible to attendees.
Presenters should attend
posters from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. If you leave your poster, please post
a note indicating when you will return. Posters should be removed by
12:30 PM on Thursday. The International Neurotoxicology Conference
is not responsible for removing or storing posters.
STUDENT AWARDS: CASH
& PLAQUES. There will be cash and plaques for 1st, 2nd, and
3rd place for Pre- and Post-Doctoral Students presented during NTX
XX. In addition to the best paper presented by a pre-doctoral or
pre-medical student, an award will also be presented for the best
post-doctoral paper presented. Selection of the Awardees will be
made during the Poster Session. Awards will be presented on Thursday
afternoon. Criteria for judging is posted on www.neurotoxicology.com. |
