DNA Damage, Mutation and Cancer

DNA Damage, Mutation and Cancer is organized by Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) and would be held during Mar 13 - 18, 2016 at Ventura Beach Marriott - Ventura, California, United States of America. The Conference will bring together a diverse group of researchers with broad backgrounds and interests stimulating new research and collaborations.

The 2016 Gordon Conference on DNA Damage, Mutation and Cancer will present cutting-edge research on the molecular mechanisms responsible for the recognition and processing of environmental DNA damage as well as inherently unstable DNA sequences. Multiple biochemical mechanisms recognize DNA lesions or difficult to unravel DNA structures, ultimately yielding a choice of pathways for resolution. Competing and collaborating DNA repair mechanisms are at heart of a delicate balance between inherent genomic stability and instability in health and disease. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing next generation anti-cancer therapies that will take advantage of genotypic differences between normal cells and tumor cells.
