About the Workshop

Workshop illustration

Maintenance of genome integrity lies at the heart of cell homeostasis. While DNA repair mechanisms have received significant attention for more than half a century, the contribution of the chromatin environment and nuclear organization to genome maintenance has only begun to emerge over the past decade. It is evident that chromatin, being the actual substrate for repair machineries, is heavily remodeled following damage detection and exerts a key function in both targeting and regulating repair at different genomic loci.

This EMBO Workshop brings together an outstanding group of scientists from around the world, young researchers as well as leaders in the field, to cover the following, emerging topics in chromatin, nuclear organization and genome maintenance (i) DNA repair in distinct nuclear domains, (ii) chromatin motion in response to DNA damage, (iii) histone modifications and nucleosome dynamics following DNA damage and (iv) regulatory functions of transcription and RNA during DNA repair and replication stress.

About the Area

The venue at IGBMC is located just south of downtown Strasbourg, the heart of Europe. With its 2 000 years of history, the European capital is at a crossroads between the Latin and Germanic cultures and has a unique architectural heritage.

The best sites are in downtown Strasbourg, (where most of the hotels can also be found): Unesco World heritage site “Grande-île” since 1988 and the “Neustadt” area just inscribed in July 2017!

Strasbourg is also home to some European institutions.
