past program

You are cordially invited to participate in the meeting on EUKARYOTIC DNA REPLICATION & GENOME MAINTENANCE which will begin on the evening of Tuesday, September 1st, and end after lunch on Saturday, September 5th, 2009. We are looking forward to a broad-based meeting, and abstracts are welcomed on all aspects of replication of DNA in eukaryotes. The format of the meeting will include morning and evening sessions consisting of short talks, principally on unpublished work. In addition, there will be at least three poster sessions held in the afternoons.

Sessions and Chairs:
Origin Selection and Helicase Loading
James Berger, University of California, Berkeley

Origin Activation and Replisome Assembly
Hiroyuki Araki, National Institute of Genetics, Japan

Replisome Structure and Function
Thomas Kunkel, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences

Cell Cycle Regulation and Connections
Anindya Dutta, University of Virginia

Response to Replication Stress and DNA Damage
Susan Gasser, Friedrich Miescher Institute, Switzerland

Postreplicative Repair and Lesion Bypass
Louise Prakash, UT Medical Center, Galveston

Chromatin and Development
Terry Orr-Weaver, Whitehead Institute/MIT

Coordination of Replication in the Genome
Joyce Hamlin, University of Virginia School of Medicine

Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline. Selection of material for oral and poster presentation will be made by the organizers and individual session chairs. Status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.

We are eager to have as many young people as possible attend and have applied for funds from government and industry to partially support graduate students and postdocs. Apply in writing to beavers@cshl.edu stating need for financial support - preference is given to those submitting abstracts.

We look forward to seeing you at Cold Spring Harbor in September.

This conference is supported in part by funds provided by:
