Announcement EAST-ASIAN WORKSHOP ON MUTAGENICITY TESTING OF CHEMICALS
National Institute of Genetics, November 8--20, 1976. Mishima, Shizyoka-ken 411, Japan The objective of the workshop is to provide senior scientists of East-Asian Countries with a balanced comprehensive overview of the field of chemical mutagenesis and mutagenicity testing of chemicals.
Organizers National Institute of Genetics, Japan. Director: Dr. Y. Tazima. Environmental Mutagen Society of Japan. President: Dr. Y. Tazima; General secretary: Dr. T. Kada; Treasurer: Dr. Y. Kuroka; International commitee member: Prof. S. Kondo.
Sponsors United Nations Environmental Program; The International Association of Environmental Mutagen Societies; To-ray Science Foundation; Nissan Science Foundation; Association for Propagation of the Knowledge of Genetics.
Program Lectures, laboratory exercises and panel discussions of the following topics will be presented. (1) Description and demonstration of procedures for detecting chemically induced mutation. Selected technics using microorganisms, cultured mammalian cells, insects, mice, etc. (2) Analysis, interpretation and evaluation of test results. Regulatory implications. (3) Correlation between mutagenicity, carcinogenicity and teratogenicity. Detailed program and texts will be distributed later for active participants.
Participants Eligible registrants from academic institutions and government will be selected from the following categories: (a) senior research scientists engaged or contemplating working in the field of chemical mutagenesis or genetic toxico-
146 logy; (b) toxicologists charged with making decisions concerning mutagenic agents in our environment. App lica rio ns Persons wishing to participate in the workshop should complete the attached application form and send it to: Dr. T.
