Topics covered at these meetings included the use of molecular biomarkers in epidemiology, genetic polymorphism, molecular epidemiology of diabetes, neurological diseases, infection and immunity, and respiratory disease, gene-environment interactions in occupational and environmental carcinogenesis, environmental oestrogens and diet and cancer.

  • Providing a forum for meetings, workshops;
  • Providing technical and continuing education courses as appropriate;
  • Promoting the application of quality control in molecular epidemiology studies;
  • Producing position papers on topics in molecular epidemiology;
  • Representing the UK on issues relating to molecular epidemiology, both nationally and internationally.
