Seminar - Stalling DNA processing

This one-day seminar on “Stalling DNA Processing” provides a framework for researchers interested in the mechanism of DNA processing and DNA-targeting tools to interact. Participation will promote the exchange of ideas across organization structures and spark novel collaborations to address open questions in the emerging field of DNA processing dynamics. The seminar will incite to widening the collaboration between different research areas of DNA metabolism that rarely interact with each other. Research areas that will benefit most directly from the seminar include: Transcription, Epigenetics, DNA Replication/Repair and Genome editing. There will be three plenary sessions, each session has one or more key-note speakers and 2 short talks selected from participant abstracts.The outstanding key-note speakers are Cecilia Cotta-Ramusino from Editas Medicine Inc., Craig Kaplan from Texas A&M University, Helle Ulrich from IMB Mainz, Jesper Svejstrup from the Crick Institute in London and Shengdar Tsai from St. Jude’s. Below you’ll find a short bio for each.
