It will be excellent opportunity to discuss the latest developments in the area, to analyze the significance of these developments and stimulate recommendations on future directions.

The IUPAC Symposium is of prime importance for researchers both in developed and developing countries.

In the area of Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins significant progress are taking place involving the application of chemistry in an interdisciplinary field.

The X International IUPAC Symposium on Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins will be hosted by the Instituto Adolfo Lutz, the Central Public Health Laboratory of the State of São Paulo which is in charge of carrying out laboratory work involving epidemiological and regulations monitoring and supervising, coordinating, regulating, executing and controlling the activities of the state's public health laboratories.

Participants are encouraged to prepare papers on their latest scientific findings to share with other colleagues around the world.

We welcome your participation

Papers can be submitted for oral or poster presentations on the following topics, but the final decision to assign an oral or poster presentation will be taken by two members of the Scientific Committee who will act as referees, deciding on the acceptance and final assignment (oral/poster) of the papers:

T1 - Methods of analysis and sampling
T2 - Toxicity
T3 - Chemistry
T4 - Mycology and Physiology
T5 - Biomonitoring
T6 - Prevention
T7 - Technology
T8 - Risk assessment
T9 - Occurrence in food, feed, and biological fluids

• Posters dealing with all aspects of Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins will be considered.
• Authors will be provided with a poster area of 1,50 m high x 0,90 m wide and may use the space in any manner they consider appropriate.
• Authors should attempt to include personal photographs ( 2x2 ) on their poster displays in order to facilitate identification by fellow delegates.
• Posters will be grouped according to topics, if possible. The presenting/author is requested to be at the Poster Sessions.
• Acceptance of a paper/poster does not entail any responsibility on the part of the Symposium organizers for errors which may be printed.
• Studies with human subjects require appropriate consent information and institutional sanction. Research on experimental animals must conform the United States National Institute of Health guidelines for the human treatment of animals, or equivalent regulation.
• ABSTRACT FORMS MUST NOT BE FOLDED. The original abstract , 3 copies and a floppy disk must be mailed in an envelope with cardboard to protect from damage.
