REPAIR OF ENDOGENOUS DNA DAMAGE - 6TH EU-US CONFERENCE ON - September 24th-28th 2017 University of Udine, Italy
The uniqueness of this series of meetings is its
focus on the cellular responses to naturally formed
genomic damage, and the relationship of defects
in these responses to genetically inherited disor-
ders associated with cancer predisposition, neuro-
logical deficits and premature aging. Understanding
the contributions of endogenous DNA damage to
human disease, in particular cancer, and the patho-
logical changes associated with aging is indeed the
major theme of this conference.

Recently, there has been an explosion-like increase
of information on cancer genomes; the develop-
ment of novel technologies for genome editing; vi-
sualizing DNA repair complexes; the role for RNA
in genome stability; novel mechanisms of DNA re-
pair and epigenetics; and the role of aging and en-
vironmental exposures in genome stability. A major
goal of this meeting is to foster collaborative re-
search on the cellular processes that affect ge-
nomic instability in cancer. The role of endogenous
DNA damage, in particular oxidative DNA damage,
as a driver of normal and accelerated aging and the
study of premature aging syndromes remain impor-
tant areas of interest. Insights from rare inherited
human diseases with defects in the DNA damage
response continue to illuminate links between en-
dogenous DNA damage and cancer, aging and
neurologic disease.

To promote the translation of knowledge about the
sources and repair of endogenous DNA lesions into
interventions that improve global human health, this
meeting will stimulate collaborative translational re-
search focused on the identification of new thera-
peutic targets and the development of treatment
strategies that either regulate DNA repair pathways
in order to enhance cancer treatment, delay neu-
rodegeneration, or reduce the pathological changes
associated with aging.

A key objective of the 2017 meeting is to provide         Organization
                                          an environment for both early career and senior in-
                                          vestigators of diverse backgrounds to communi-
                                          cate their latest results on relevant scientific topics
                                          and establish interactions that will not only
                                          strengthen the numerous basic science and trans-
                                          lational research efforts in this arena, but also en-
                                          hance the development of the next generation of
                                          researchers.
