Molecular Epidemiology Group Meeting Comes to Edinburgh
Monday 28 November 2022 | ABSTRACT DEADLINE EXTENDED 30 SEPTEMBER
Pathways to improving population health: bringing together industry, academia, patients and policymakers
The Molecular Epidemiology Group (MEG-UK) was founded in 1996 as an interest group within the United Kingdom Environmental Mutagen Society. MEG-UK aims to foster multi-disciplinary links between epidemiologists, data and informatics, molecular biologists, biochemists, geneticists, toxicologists, pathologists, nutritionists, clinician scientists, public health scientists and others studying the role of environmental and genetic factors in the aetiology of diseases. MEG-UK thus represents a forum for communication among researchers from diverse fields and aims to bring the best methodologies to bear on the study of the causes and prevention of human disease. MEG recognises that advances in technology provide opportunities and challenges that requires multidisciplinary teams. This now also includes informatics and data science that is becoming so prevalent in epidemiology.
Bursaries available
A number of bursaries for early career researchers and prizes for best poster and oral presentations will be available.
