DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Recent advances in nanotechnology have revolutionized all aspects of life, from engineering, semiconductors, building materials to cosmetics and nanomedicine. The unique physico-chemical characteristics combined with the vast surface area make the biological effects of nano-materials and their interactions with cells, tissues and biofluids largely unpredictable. The increasing use of engineered nanomaterials raises concerns about inadvertent exposure to these materials and the potential for adverse effects on human health and the environment. As a result of this, a new and explosively developing field of toxicology - nanotoxicology - has emerged. Experimental work in the field of nanotoxicology is progressing at exponential rate. In spite of this, there is still a fundamental lack of data on the potential impacts of nanomaterials n human health, and the environment, including natural ecosystems. Filling this gap of knowledge will require an unprecedented degree of national and international coordination between scientific organizations, regulatory agencies, and stakeholders. The proposed International Conference Nanotoxicology-2014 is an important step in this direction. The International Conference Nanotoxicology-2014 - to be held in Antalya, Turkey from April 23 through 26, 2014 - will bring together current research leaders in the field of toxicology of nanomaterial's from material scientists, chemists and manufacturers to molecular toxicologists, risk assessment experts as well as clinicians and translational scientists involved in biomedical applications of nanoparticles. Since 2006, when the first International conference on nanotoxicology has been initiated and organized in the US (Miami), a series of bi-annual meetings was conducted in Zurich (2008), Edinburgh (2010), and Beijing (2012). These conferences represented the major scientific events in the field of Nano toxicology whereby most innovative and significant breakthrough results in the emerging discipline were strategically disseminated and made available for the research community of scientists, representatives of nanomaterial's manufacturing industries, public health officials and experts in risk assessment/regulatory issues. The primary goal of the conference is to create the opportunity for cross disciplinary discussions for investigators with different fields of expertise working together to understand the chemistry, biology, molecular mechanisms of action and toxicity of nanomaterial's, hence to provide basis for risk assessments thus facilitating the design and production of nanomaterial's with minimized adverse effects on human health and the environment. The topics of the conference are focused on the latest most innovative areas of the exploding discipline of nanotoxicology: nanotoxicology and human toxicology, nano-environmental health and safety, eco-nanotoxicology, dose-response paradigm, molecular mechanisms of nontoxicity, immune responses to nanoparticles, nanomedicine, pharmacokinetics and particokinetics, nano-bio interface and nanobiomaterials, exposure scenarios and risk assessment of nanomaterials, systems biology approaches to nanosafety, In Silico modeling approaches including nano-QSARs, regulatory challenges of nanotechnology risks. A series of lectures on "Methods in nanosafety research" for young investigators will also be included in the program of the conference. Two special round-table discussions will be focused on the world-wide strategic research agenda in the field of nanosafety. Overall, the topics of the conference will address the major directions of research relevant to concerns associated with the environmental, occupational and biomedical exposures to nanomaterials. The conference will create opportunities for participants to present and share experiences, explore new directions and debate topics with experts from across the globe in the field of nanotoxicology.

描述（由申请人提供）： 纳米技术的最新进展彻底改变了生活的各个方面，从工程、半导体、建筑材料到化妆品和纳米医学。独特的物理化学特性与巨大的表面积相结合，使得纳米材料的生物效应及其与细胞、组织和生物体液的相互作用在很大程度上难以预测。工程纳米材料的使用越来越多，引起了人们对无意接触这些材料以及可能对人类健康和环境产生不利影响的担忧。因此，出现了一个爆炸性发展的毒理学新领域——纳米毒理学。纳米毒理学领域的实验工作正在以指数速度进展。尽管如此，仍然根本缺乏关于纳米材料对人类健康和环境（包括自然生态系统）潜在影响的数据。填补这一知识空白需要科学组织、监管机构和利益相关者之间进行前所未有的国内和国际协调。拟议的 2014 年纳米毒理学国际会议是朝这个方向迈出的重要一步。 2014 年纳米毒理学国际会议将于 2014 年 4 月 23 日至 26 日在土耳其安塔利亚举行，届时纳米材料毒理学领域的当前研究领导者将齐聚一堂，从材料科学家、化学家和制造商到分子毒理学家、风险评估专家，以及参与纳米颗粒生物医学应用的临床医生和转化科学家。自2006年在美国（迈阿密）发起并组织第一届国际纳米毒理学会议以来，一系列每两年一次的会议分别在苏黎世（2008年）、爱丁堡（2010年）和北京（2012年）举行。这些会议代表了纳米毒理学领域的重大科学事件，战略性地传播了新兴学科中最具创新性和重大突破性的成果，并提供给科学家研究界、纳米材料制造行业代表、公共卫生官员和风险专家评估/监管问题。会议的主要目标是为不同专业领域的研究人员创造跨学科讨论的机会，共同了解 纳米材料的化学、生物学、作用分子机制和毒性，从而为风险评估提供基础，从而促进纳米材料的设计和生产，最大限度地减少对人类健康和环境的不利影响。会议主题集中在纳米毒理学爆炸性学科的最新最具创新性的领域：纳米毒理学和人类毒理学、纳米环境健康与安全、生态纳米毒理学、剂量反应范式、无毒分子机制、纳米粒子的免疫反应、纳米医学、药代动力学和粒子动力学、纳米生物界面和纳米生物材料、纳米材料的暴露场景和风险评估、纳米安全的系统生物学方法、计算机建模方法，包括纳米 QSAR，纳米技术风险的监管挑战。为青年研究者举办的“纳米安全研究方法”系列讲座也将列入会议议程。两次特别圆桌讨论将重点关注纳米安全领域的全球战略研究议程。总体而言，会议的主题将讨论与环境、职业和生物医学接触纳米材料相关的问题相关的主要研究方向。会议将为与会者提供展示和分享经验、探索新方向以及与来自全球纳米毒理学领域的专家辩论主题的机会。
