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 The format of the meeting will include morning and evening sessions consisting of short talks, principally on unpublished work.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:
Cell Cycle Controls & Genomic Instability
Terry Orr-Weaver, Whitehead Institute/MIT

Chromatin and Development
Marcel Mechali, Institute of Human Genetics, CNRS, France

Chromatin Origin & Timing
Johannes Walter, Harvard Medical School

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

Origin Selection and Pre-RC Assembly
Anindya Dutta, University of Virginia
Joyce Hamlin, University of Virginia School of Medicine

Postreplicative Repair and Lesion Bypass
Thomas Kunkel, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences

Replisome Structure & Function
Susan Gasser, Friedrich Miescher Institute, Switzerland

Response to Replication Stress
Peter Burgers, Washington University School of Medicine
Anja-Katrin Bielinsky, University of Minnesota

Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline.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:
National Cancer Institute
