AOAC 2017 Annual Meeting Preliminary Program

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.
