Mission

The Molecular Epidemiology Working Group (MEG) of the AACR is a multidisciplinary scientific working group comprised of scientists and clinicians from any relevant discipline who are interested in working together to increase knowledge about cancer and chronic disease etiology, thereby promoting the cure and prevention of cancer and the improvement of public health.

Why Join MEG

• to facilitate the multidisciplinary approach to the study of cancer and chronic disease etiology
• to promote the incorporation of molecular and biochemical concepts and techniques into well-designed epidemiologic studies
• to provide an ongoing forum for the scholarly discussion and development of sound approaches to the conduct and interpretation of molecular epidemiologic studies,
• to foster partnerships/collaborations with scientists in other disciplines
• to sponsor scientific and educational programs that will advance the field, such as the MEG Scholar-in-Training Award

How to Join MEG

• annually, by selecting MEG on your AACR dues invoice
  • annual dues for AACR Active Members are $25*
  • annual dues for AACR Associate and Affiliate Members are $10*
