Protecting the Code : Epigenetic Impacts on Genome Stability 2017

Protecting the Code : Epigenetic Impacts on Genome Stability is organized by European Association for Cancer Research (EACR) and would be held during Oct 29 - Nov 01, 2017 at Harnack House, Berlin, Germany.

This conference will bring together basic researchers working at the cutting edge of this field, and will cover some of the most recent advances in understanding epigenetic impacts on genome instability. During the meeting, there will be great opportunities for young scientists to meet the experts in the field, and we aim to create an open and engaging environment for discussion.

The programme will address the challenges of understanding this complex field and will emphasise new experimental systems for interrogating these pathways. While the emphasis is on understanding molecular mechanisms of epigenetic impacts on genome stability, we will also consider how recent advances can be exploited in the clinic.

Topics :

• Epigenetic aspects of DNA damage signalling
• Chromatin remodelling and histone modifications in DNA repair and replication
• Chromatin environment and its influence on DNA repair mechanisms
• Epigenetic regulation of chromosome organisation and segregation
• Histone chaperones, non-coding RNAs, and genome stability

Additional Details will be posted as soon as they are available.
