The workshop will take place in Leiden, Netherlands, from June 17 to 20, 2024.
Deadline for the registration: April 1, 2024.
More than 24 international speakers will cover the following topics:
(i) DNA repair in nuclear/chromatin domains,
(ii) histone modifications following damage: writers, reader, erasers,
(iii) nucleosome modification following DNA damage (remodellers, chaperones and histone variants),
(iv) replication stress and endogenous damage,
(v) transcription and RNA in DNA repair,
(vi) chromatin movement and physical constraints.
