About the meeting
-
Chromosomes are important structures that carry the blueprint of life. Understanding how genetic information is stored and read in chromosomes and how it is replicated and transmitted to the next generation of cells is one of the most important issues in biology. From a medical perspective, understanding chromosome dynamics is also important since chromosome aberrations are related to many diseases, including cancer.
Recent advances in cutting-edge technologies from imaging to single-cell omics have greatly advanced biological research. These innovations have provided unprecedented insights into cellular and molecular processes, enabling researchers to explore biological systems with greater resolution and precision than ever before. Given this rapid pace of technological progress and its profound impact on our understanding of cellular mechanisms, it is essential for scientists and scholars to discuss the latest developments in chromosome dynamics research.
At this meeting, more than 20 leading international researchers will participate as invited speakers. Together with presentations by up-and-coming researchers, we will engage in intensive discussions covering different topics related to chromosome dynamics, such as:
Chromosome Segregation (Mitosis and Meiosis)
Genome Stability
Aneuploidy and Cellular Response
Centrosome Biogenesis
Genome Structure underlying Epigenetic Regulation
Structure Biology of Chromosome Components
The main objectives of this meeting are to bring together scientists with distinct and complementary expertise, encourage the exchange of unpublished findings, foster new collaborations and ideas, and, last but not least, engage Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers representing the next generation.
