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.
