The Annual IGG Meeting will be held on 28th November 2023 at Lhasa Limited, Leeds, UK.
The meeting will include the Richard Williams Award candidate presentations, data workshops on real-world decisions in genotoxicity and topics such as Nitrosamines, 5-years on. We look forward to seeing you there.
Please see the below message from the IWGT Organizing Committee regarding the upcoming IWGT meeting format:
You will be aware that at IWGT our preferred format is on-site attendance in order to maximize interactions with the Working Group members. However, in view of the continued Covid-related travel restrictions, we anticipate many interested scientists may not be allowed to attend IWGT in person. We therefore decided to extend the options to join IWGT remotely, and to move towards a “hybrid” format.
We will therefore now accept registrations from scientists who want to attend IWGT remotely, and to do so scientists should use the below link to register, and identify that they will be attending virtually. The registration fee will remain at 250 Euro.

Last year, at our annual IGG meeting, we held the first Richard Williams Memorial Award honouring the scientific contributions and memory of Dr. Richard Williams, our past IGG committee member. This award was kindly sponsored by Lhasa and was set up to support early career investigators within industry. Supported by the IGG, The Richard Williams Memorial Award will sponsor one individual a year to attend and present at the United Kingdom Environmental Mutagen Society (UKEMS) meeting.
It is with huge excitement that today, we are able to introduce you to the first winner of the Richard Williams Memorial Award, Amy Wilson.
Amy is an Associate Principal Scientist within the Genetic Toxicology team at AstraZeneca. Learn more about Amy’s award-winning work, career to date, biggest inspiration and where you can see Amy present her work in Lhasa’s blog here.
