Genomic Instability: Chromosome Replication, Repair and Architecture

Genomic Instability: Chromosome Replication, Repair and Architecture is organized by Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) and will be held during Jul 22 - 27, 2018 at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China.

Conference Description :
The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Genomic Instability is designed to address both the fundamental mechanisms and translational impact of the cellular pathways that maintain genome stability. Cells continuously experience genome damage that, if not properly corrected, can have a variety of negative consequences, ranging from cell death to uncontrolled oncogenic proliferation. Cutting-edge research will be presented on the molecular mechanisms governing genome replication, repair and recombination, chromatin dynamics and chromosomal organization, and signaling pathways responding to DNA lesions. We also cover how these fundamental genome maintenance mechanisms impinge on disease etiology and aging, and how molecular understanding of DNA repair mechanisms opens the novel opportunity for cancer therapy. This GRC thus provides broad coverage of the field of Genomic Instability with a speaker line-up of leading scientist. In addition to top-notch invited speakers, each session will include several selected talks from submitted abstracts.

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