GETA was formed in 1979 to promote the acquisition of knowledge, to encourage research, and facilitate communication related to environmental and genetic toxicology among interested persons in the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California. Any person working, studying, teaching or otherwise demonstrating an interest in disciplines related to environmental and genetic toxicology is eligible for membership. To encourage wide participation, annual dues and meeting fees are minimal.
Members come from many different organizations including the California Environmental Protection Agency, California State Department of Food and Agriculture, California State Department of Health Services, CCS Associates, Chevron, USDA Western Regional Research Center, IBM, EPRI, Lawrence Livermore and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories, San Francisco and San Jose State Universities, SRI International, and University of California campuses at Berkeley, Davis, and San Francisco.
GETA sponsors 3 scientific meetings per year ranging from presentations by invited speakers to workshops and brief discussions of research results by members. A newsletter is distributed to the membership three times each year, usually prior to a meeting.
GETA also sponsors formal and informal training courses on various topics in environmental and genetic toxicology as well as travel awards for students to national meetings.
