EMBO Workshop: Evolution and Diversity of the DNA Damage Response

The EMBO Workshop: Evolution and Diversity of the DNA Damage Response is a scientific workshop that examines the evolution, mechanisms, and biological diversity of cellular responses to DNA damage, including DNA repair pathways, genome stability, tissue-specific processes, and their implications for human health and disease.

Key Topics

• DNA repair mechanisms and double-strand break repair
• Homologous recombination and BRCA1 protein function
• DNA replication initiation and replication stress responses
• Chromatin dynamics and genome stability
• Interstrand crosslink repair and DNA processing
• Cell cycle regulation and meiotic recombination
• Mitotic DNA damage and repair pathways in tumour cells
• Transcription stress and transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair
• Evolutionary diversity and species-specific DNA damage responses
• DNA lesion tolerance and replication-transcription conflicts
• Mitochondrial topoisomerases and genome stability
• DNA damage response mechanisms in cancer development
• Mutational processes and genome instability in cancer
• Molecular mechanisms of chromosome organization and repair
• AI applications in scientific publishing
