Conferences and Meetings on Genetics and genetic disorders

FASEB Science Research Conferences

The main themes of this conference are: 1) The 25th anniversary of the Sleeping Beauty transposon resurrection and its use for advancing basic science and clinical research; 2) Advances in the development of wet bench and bioinformatics tools for transposon discovery and annotation across a broad spectrum of organisms; 3) Molecular mechanisms of transposon mobilization and the impact on the host, with a specific emphasis on aging and age-associated diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration. Conference sessions will explore the latest findings and promote discussions on: Mobile DNA and Human Disease, Transposons and Aging, Sleeping Beauty – 25 Years of Discovery, Mobile DNA, Epigenetics, and Gene Regulation, Mechanisms of Mobilization, Comparative Genomics of Transposable Elements, Computational Tool Use and Development, and Population Genomics of Mobile DNA. In addition to a keynote lecture from Zsuzsanna Izsvak, PhD (Max Delbruck Center for Molecular Medicine) , the conference will feature nine oral sessions, two poster sessions, and two career development workshops. As part of a series of events for trainees, a “Meet the Expert” session is included to foster informal interaction between participants and selected experts representing the conference’s research themes.

This Meeting, a collaboration between the Development and Disease Models & Mechanisms journal teams, aims to bring together developmental biologists, human geneticists and clinical researchers who are united in the goal of understanding and treating developmental disorders. The underlying causes of developmental disorders – genetic or environmental – are often not understood. Moreover, there is a disconnect between researchers working on animal models of developmental disorders, geneticists trying to identify the genomic lesion responsible, and clinicians hoping to treat affected patients. Given the resulting urgent need to improve communication between these groups, to promote basic research into congenital anomalies and to invest in translating this research to the clinic, this Journal Meeting will focus specifically on building bridges from bench to clinic.
