The Fifth International Symposium on Biological Reactive Intermediates The Fifth International Symposium on Biological Reactive Intermediates will be held January 4-8, 1995, in Munich, Germany. The Symposium will feature a series of platform presentations, with ample time for discussion, describing advances in our understanding of fundamental mechanisms of toxicity and carcinogenesis. A series of poster-discussion sessions and a final day workshop devoted to coupling data from mechanistic toxicology with current research in PBPK, biomarkers, and the process of human health risk assessment are also planned. Symposium topics will include the following: Generation of biological reactive intermediates; Conjugation and organ-organ interactions; Mathematical modeling of bioactivation; Linking mechanistic studies to risk assessment. The poster-discussion session topics will include the following: Human cytochrome P45Os, xenobiotic metabolism, and pol~orphisms; Oxidative stress and gene expression; Molecular epidemiology, biomarkers, and risk assessment.
