1st International Comet Assay Working Group (ICAWG) Symposium
& hCOMET meeting
May 17th - 18th, 2021
You are welcome to join the online symposium,
which will be organized by the newly launched International Comet Assay Working Group (ICAWG).
This symposium will also include several lectures with the results from the hCOMET project.
COLLABORATION
The International Comet Assay Working Group (ICAWG) was founded as a specialist interest group of the European Environmental Mutagenesis & Genomics Society (EEMGS) in 2020.
In March 2021, the ICAWG began collaborating with another affiliated group within the EEMGS - the New Investigators (NI) group.
The group was created by hCOMET COST-Action (CA15132) members and organisers of the International Comet Assay Workshops (ICAW), a series of scientific conferences dealing with practical and theoretical aspects of the comet assay, aimed at both experienced and new users of this popular technique.
