LabLinks: Targeting the DNA Damage Response in Cancer
July 17, 2020 - 9:00 am - 6:30 pm
Cell Press is pleased to introduce our first virtual LabLinks meeting on Targeting the DNA Damage Response in Cancer on Friday, July 17.
We had originally planned for this LabLinks to take place as an in-person event at the MGH Cancer Center in Boston, MA. Due to the current pandemic, this event will now be held entirely online via Zoom. We are delighted to welcome registrants globally to join us in this virtual format.
This LabLinks will cover a breadth of topics related to the DNA damage response in cancer, spanning basic molecular biology to clinical applications. Topics include:
• Basic molecular biology of the DDR
• The role of DNA repair protein mutations in promoting tumorigenesis
• Pre-clinical rationale for targeting the DDR as cancer therapy
• Clinical use of DNA damage agents in cancer
• Targeting the DDR to sensitize to immunotherapy
• Biomarkers of response to DNA damage therapies
