The NAT workshops have been running since 1998. The 5th International Workshop will be hosted by University Paris Diderot. The Workshop will take place from the afternoon of Wednesday September 1 to the morning of Friday September 3, 2010. The 9th International ISSX meeting (Istanbul, Turkey) is scheduled for September 4-8, making it convenient to attend both meetings by flying through Paris.

The Workshop program will consist of topical sessions with invited speakers and contributed presentations in the form of posters. Poster sessions will allow ample time for discussion of research findings.


The program includes the following sessions (Chairs)

  1. Structures and enzymatic functions of NAT (Denis M. Grant, Canada)
  2. NAT in microorganisms (Edith Sim, UK)
  3. NAT polymorphisms, diseases and evolution (Jose A.G. Agundez, Spain)
  4. NAT expression and regulation (Rodney F. Minchin, Australia)
  5. NAT and aromatic amine metabolism (David W. Hein, USA)
  6. NAT nomenclature (Sotiria Boukouvala, Greece; David W. Hein, USA)
  7. Animal models of NAT (Charlene McQueen, USA)
