Event Overview
Welcome message:
Defect in DNA damage repair and checkpoint control is the underlying mechanism for tumorigenesis, since it allows the accumulation of multiple genetic alternations, which are essential for the initiation of tumorigenesis. This has been clearly illustrated to be the cause of several human cancer-prone syndromes and also revealed by recent human genome studies. On the other hand, defective DNA repair and checkpoint activation also make cancer cells more vulnerable for particular DNA damaging agents or inhibitors that specifically disrupt some of these checkpoint pathways. With the increasing understanding of defects in DNA repair and checkpoint control in tumorigenesis, there are extensive interests in exploring these deficiencies, especially taking advantage of the synthetic lethality concept and targeting particular DNA repair and checkpoint pathways for cancer therapy. The purpose of this conference is to bring together basic, translational and clinical investigators and discuss the current and future directions, opportunities and obstacles in the development of these anti-cancer modalities and how to best apply these concepts in clinical practice.
Key Sessions
Highlight recent advances in the field of DNA damage repair
Identify novel targets in DNA repair and checkpoint pathways
Explore the concept of synthetic lethality for cancer treatment
Assess the therapeutic potential of new anti-cancer modalities
Learn mechanisms of therapeutic resistance and ways to improve cancer therapy
Target Audience
This conference explores topics that should appeal to basic, translational and clinical investigators as well as clinicians ranging from academics to industry. The audience will benefit greatly from the interactions with experts in the fields of DNA damage response, drug development and clinical trials.
2017 DNA Poster Prize
The conference chairs will be awarding 3 poster prizes for the best poster display and presentation. To be in with a chance of winning, submit your poster by 08 December 2016. The winners will be selected shortly after the Poster Session and each winner will receive $250!
