Stazione Marittima, Trieste, Italy
5 – 7 July 2022
We would like to cordially invite you to attend the conference entitled “At the intersection of DNA Replication and Genome Maintenance: from Mechanisms to Therapy”. The organizing committee is formed by Johannes Walter (Harvard Medical School), Massimo Lopes (University of Zurich), Lawrence Banks (ICGEB, Trieste), and Alessandro Vindigni (Washington University School of Medicine).
Our conference follows up on the highly successful meeting we organized on the same topic in Trieste in June 2016, and builds upon the pressing need to bring together world leaders working at the interface between DNA replication and repair to achieve a full understanding of how these mechanisms impact cancer and aging.
We have attracted an outstanding and diverse group of invited speakers who are working at the forefront of these fields. In addition, we will select 26 short talks from the submitted abstracts, which will allow us to include talks by trainees.
