DNA Replication and Genome Instability: From Mechanism to Disease (A1)

DNA Replication and Genome Instability: From Mechanism to Disease (A1) is organized by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology and will be held from Jan 13 - 17, 2019 at Snowbird Resort, Snowbird, Utah, United States of America.

Course Description :
This conference will bring together scientists studying the most fundamental aspects of DNA replication and recombination, the organization and regulation of these processes at the cellular and molecular level, and their links to human disease. The aims are to disseminate the latest progress in this area, provide young scientists with the opportunity to present their work in a short talk or poster format, discuss the challenges and opportunities in translating basic research knowledge for the treatment of disease; and discuss the relevance to genome instability and replication stress of emerging work in other fields. Through talks and specialized workshops led by leaders in the field, the conference will cover single-molecule to cellular and genome-level studies, providing an integrated view of the relationship between DNA replication, recombination and genome instability.

Plenary Session Topics:
• The Influence of Chromatin on Replication and Repair
• Workshop 1: Basic Mechanisms of Replication
• Workshop 2: Basic Mechanisms of Recombination
• Mechanisms of DNA Replication
• Mechanisms of Recombination and Repair
• Understanding and Exploiting Replication Stress

• Workshop/Panel Discussion 3: Translating Basic Science to the Clinic
• RNA-Induced Genome Instability
• Genomic Drivers of Tumorigenesis and Drug Resistance
• Workshop 4: Chromatin, Replication and Repair
• Workshop 5: Replication Stress and DNA Damage Signaling
• Linking DNA Damage Response to the Immune Response

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