27th ESCPBnew Congress New European Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry
BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF CLIMATIC CHANGES AND POLLUTION: FROM BIOMARKERS TO SYSTEM BIOLOGY Alessandria, Italy - 5-9 September 2010
The year 2010 is the international year for studies on biodiversity and therefore our meeting concerning climate changes and their biological effects will represent a central point in the European and international scientific debate on this topic. In fact from their starting activity, the ESCPB scientists have been involved in research programmes devoted to understand biochemical and physiological processes from protozoa to vertebrate and to utilize this basic research results to clarify both the adaptation mechanisms to environmental changes and/or the toxicity pathways of chemical pollutants. Considering the hypothesis that pollution interaction with climate changes might generate the condition for biodiversity decline, it seems of exceptional interest acquiring knowledge about the newest scientific developments concerning the sublethal effects of the different classes of chemicals under different environmental conditions. The 27th ESCPB Congress is organised in sessions concerning effects of natural and anthropogenic environmental factors on living organisms. I hope to meet in Alessandria not only scientists but also environmental managers in particular from environmental agencies: it is time to transfer the information from the scientific congresses to the application of advanced biomonitoring studies to save our planet for future generation!
