health, government agencies such as the FDA, USDA, NIST, and CDC
have dedicated research resources to better understand the effects
of mycotoxins on humans and animals. Active mycotoxin research
projects include assessments of health impacts, dietary exposure levels,
exposure risks, toxicological effects, detoxification technologies, and
improved analytic methods. These have provided valuable information
on which government agencies can use to establish science-based
regulations and guidelines, with particular emphasis on ways to
minimize mycotoxin contamination. Our proposed symposium will
include the following areas:
1. Technologies and method development for regulatory screening and
surveillance.
2. Detecting environmental exposure and mycotoxins in human fluids.
3. Agricultural practices intended to minimize mycotoxin contamination
in agricultural products.
These topics will be discussed by key opinion leaders from multiple
government agencies. The invited speakers will use their research
findings to describe the state of the science, underline challenges, and
explore future research directions. They will present US government
perspectives on mycotoxin research from within their specific agencies.
These presentations will provide valuable insights into the continuing
efforts these agencies have invested in protecting the public health.
We expect that the discussions at this symposium will lead to valuable
collaborative opportunities for researchers from government, industry,
and academia.
