The common denominator of a predisposition to cancer, chronic disease and the ageing process is our genetic material, DNA. Recent progress in our understanding of the DNA damage response has led to the discovery of many of the central players in this system. Scientists now understand the chain of events that leads to instantaneous activation of the enormous cellular response to DNA lesions.

The workshop will explore recent advances in this rapidly developing field, identify new research directions of common interest to the growing community of genome investigation, and initiate new collaborations.
