Discover the hidden world of cancer signaling circuits with leading experts at this EACR Virtual Conference! This conference will focus on basic mechanisms controlling cancer cell signaling circuits at the epigenome, transcriptome, proteome, and phosphoproteome levels. The talks will also focus on therapeutic targeting of cancer cell signaling circuits by conventional and emerging pharmacological strategies, and the mechanistic aspects of post translational and transcriptional regulation of cancer cell signaling, as well as large OMICS-based global understanding of cancer cell signaling circuits.

The target audience for this conference is: scientists in academia and industry who are interested in the most recent developments in non-genetic signaling mechanisms and their roles in cancer progression and therapy resistance.

Though much progress has been made and continues in our understanding of chromatin organization on the disparate length scales, a bridging between modeling and experimentation on the nucleosome and fiber levels with genome studies on the kilo-base level is lacking. New tailored mul- tiscale computational approaches are needed to help interpret the rising volume of experimental data, especially those coming from genome-wide contact data. In addition, many mathemati- cians and physicists are working on relevant problems but there is a gap in resolution between the mathematical biology community which has developed various coarse-graining approaches for chromatin on the fiber bur not chromosome level and the mathematical physics community which studies scaling behavior on the order of chromosomes but cannot incorporate crucial physical parameters on the fiber level. Since important biological applications require an integration from the base-pair level to chromosome and genome wide scales, it is essential that these communities open collaborative approaches between them, as well as interact with the experimental chromatin and medical scientists. Our program aims to bring these scientists together to discuss the current state-of-the-art in chromatin modeling, identify future challenges, and follow them with innovative multiscale, integrative approaches.

A cell’s hereditary material is comprised of nucleic acids, which allows living organisms to pass on the genetic information from one generation to next. The Nucleotides in both DNA and RNA are comprised up of a sugar, a nitrogen base, and a phosphate molecule. Nucleic acids are long chains of nucleotides joined together by phosphodiester bonds. Nucleic acids comprised of: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA and RNA having slight difference in their chemical composition, yet play importantly different biological roles. In the proposed Nucleic Acids 2024, we will bring together various eminent researchers working on molecular biology (Nucleic Acids) to learn and share the latest advancements in the field of cutting-edge applications in biology, functional nucleic acids, basic principles, human health, and its related diseases. It is a broad audience gathering for exploring the advancement in RNA, Genome Dynamics, DNA damage and repair, maintenance and replication, structure and structure-function studies of nucleic acids and protein, innovative techniques at molecular and chemical level, and current aspects of CRISPR etc. which focus on its research and wider applications.

Chromatin is the template of life, the carrier of genetic information and the core regulator of fundamental processes such as gene expression and stem cell fate determination. Chromatin dysfunction on the other hand can trigger various diseases, including cancer. Although chromatin structure and function and the mechanisms of disease and their diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are the subject of many meetings, conferences bringing them together are less frequent. The boundaries among these various disciplines are disappearing and meeting on "Epigenetics: from mechanisms to disease" will focus on the discussion of the role of chromatin architecture, epigenetics, stem and single cell biology in cancer and other diseases. The talks will cover a broad range of topics, including chromosome organisation, long-range interactions, chromatin assembly, stem cell regulation/differentiation, RNA-based mechanisms, transcription regulation, DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation, exploiting the power of genome engineering technologies, single-cell approaches, cutting edge epigenomics and imaging approaches and novel cell systems such as organoids. Speakers have been selected to broadly reflect lessons learned from a variety of model organisms and experimental approaches.

The progress in understanding genes and genomes has given a boost to the use of synthetic DNA for biological and technological applications. Synthetic nucleic acids play a central role in synthetic biology and in emerging therapeutic paradigms, e.g., genome editing and nucleic acid vaccines. DNA-based data storage is making significant progress, and thanks to its extreme data-density, its high durability and its timelessness, it is promising to be the next standard for data archival systems. Synthetic biology and the use of synthetic DNA for information storage applications bring important algorithmic and data analysis challenges. In synthetic biology, reagent and assay design are often driven by algorithmic approaches. Novel synthesis technologies offer cost-reduction by several orders of magnitude at the cost of increased error-rate, raising new coding-theoretic questions. This Dagstuhl Seminar aims to bring together leading biologists, chemists, engineers, computer/data scientists, and theoreticians working on synthetic biology and on DNA-based data storage, to enable joint work in small groups leading to discussing and exploring recent advancements and current challenges.
