The DGDR-Krupp 2022 Symposium on DNA Repair and Human Disease will take place in Jena, Germany, from April 6-9th, 2022. The 16th Biennial Conference of the German Society for Research on DNA Repair (DGDR) will be held in liaison with the annual symposium organized by the winner of the Alfried Krupp Prize for Young University Teachers awarded by the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation.
The theme of this joint conference is DNA repair mechanisms underlying ageing and human pathologies. Topics include, but will not be limited to, DNA damage signaling and DNA repair, replication stress, post-translational modifications in DNA damage response, chromatin dynamics, genomic stability, ageing, lessons from model organisms and the development of novel anti-cancer drugs targeting DNA repair pathways.
