Science Researcher Update: Spotlight on Meetings, Conferences, and Events

Genome Integrity Discussion Group Scientific Symposium

Genome Integrity Discussion Group Meeting

Scientific Symposium - New York City, United States

The Genome Integrity meetings are designed to provide a forum for interactions between the many basic science and clinically-oriented research groups working on these issues. We feel that these interactions will not only facilitate synergy between labs, but also provide a context in which previously unappreciated complementarities will be revealed.

In that spirit, the talks will cover a broad range of areas, including, but not limited to the DNA damage response and cancer predisposition, DNA replication, transcription, chromatin modification, recombination, cell cycle control, telomeres, chromosome segregation, epigenetic states, as well as the emergence of new technologies relevant to research in genome integrity. Although a primary focus is upon basic mechanisms and processes, these areas are pertinent to cancer and myriad human disease states, and it is expected that this will be reflected in the substance of our discussions.

Genome Integrity Discussion Group meetings are organized under the leadership of John Petrini (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center), and Rodney Rothstein and Lorraine Symington (Columbia University). The year-end meeting includes a scientific symposium with a keynote presentation from 1:00 to 4:00 PM, followed by a poster session and networking reception from 4:00 to 5:30 PM.
