Gordon Research Conference on DNA Damage, Mutation & Cancer

The inaugural 2016 Gordon Research Seminar on DNA Damage, Mutation and Cancer will be a forum where cutting-edge research on the molecular mechanisms responsible for the recognition, processing, and repair of DNA damage is presented by the graduate students, post-docs, and early career scientists who conduct this exciting research. 

The format of this meeting will empower young scientists to present new data and exchange ideas among their peers. A select number of established scientists whose role is to help facilitate discussion will also be in attendance, and a professional development session will focus on equipping attendees to be successful in their future job searches. Young scientists from a broad range of experimental backgrounds and interests are encouraged to present their unpublished work on environmental and endogenous DNA damage, mutagenesis, DNA repair, and their relation to the development, progression, and treatment of cancer.
