It’s just over a week until our One Day UKEMS Meeting in London on December 1st.
With many plans coming together in a short time, we encourage you to book asap via the website here.
Programme
The programme can be found on the website.
Venue details
The meeting is being held at Hallam Conference Centre, 44 Hallam Street, London W1W 6JJ. Sessions will be held in the Council Chambers with badge collection and refreshments/lunch in the Regent Suite.
The IGG Committee have taken the decision to postpone our 2021 annual meeting to February 2022, and also to make it a virtual meeting. This is due to a number of factors including uncertainty around government restrictions, attendee safety, company travel policies, and travel budget restrictions.
The precise date and timings are still to be confirmed but we will update you and share the agenda as soon as we are able. The meeting will still include the Richard Williams award so we would like to invite all eligible speakers to stand for this (details with the revised entry deadline will be sent out soon).
Many thanks.
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.

This year we are hosting the first Richard Williams Memorial Award, sponsored by Lhasa Ltd, which will be contested by three excellent early career scientists – you get to vote for the winner! Additionally we have four very respected scientists covering our two themes of the use of Adverse Outcome Pathways for genotoxicity assessment, and the utility of Duplex Sequencing technology.
We look forward to welcoming you to our virtual meeting.
Thanks to UKEMS for supporting this event.
