The immediate objectives of this interest group include, but are not limited to:
The interest group on OMICs will work to fundamentally improve the way OMICs scientific findings can be used to help protect human health and the environment within the researcher's community of SETAC and beyond:
In the near term, the analysis, identification and articulation of specific requirements for the implementation of OMICs into environmental and health decision-making will be the primary focus of the IG. Its product will consist of a strategic road-map for coordinated activities that will help create fundamental knowledge and a translational path to transform the way risk is estimated for chemicals, natural toxins (cyanobacteria/algae), nanomaterials and other stressors and how they are regulated. The combined expertise on OMICs within the IG will also lead to a regular series of technical reports that facilitate a shared understanding on the growing value and limits of OMICS in real world risk assessment applications. These activities are envisaged to strengthen the value and visibility of the IG within SETAC and beyond. Yet we will also specifically seek the involvement of members participating in other SETAC IGs, with the goal of increasing synergism among groups. We will continually interact with SETAC and non-SETAC members from the regulatory and industry sector through workshops that inform and educate participants about the state-of-OMICS-science and to discuss current scientific issues and needs within specific areas of application. Overall, regular interactions with SETAC members will grow the number and diversity of individuals having a working knowledge of the OMICs and their applications to environmental and health decision making. |
