The European Association for Cancer Research (EACR), American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) and Società Italiana di Cancerologia (SIC) are proud to announce this new joint Basic and Translational Research Conference that gathers top experts in the fields of Immunology and DNA Damage in Florence, Italy to discuss the molecular mechanisms laying at the convergence of these two research fields and how they can be exploited to treat cancer.
The integrity of DNA molecules is vital for proper cellular function, yet it is under constant assault from environmental and metabolic DNA damaging agents. Failure to maintain faithful DNA replication and as such genome stability and integrity leads to DNA lesions and mutations that are a driving factor in tumour initiation and progression. Cancer development is further modulated by the immune response.
More recent research has uncovered a role for DNA repair mechanisms beyond tumorigenesis. It is now known that DNA repair is at the core of regulating the balance between tumour progression and immune response, and as such can predict the efficacy of immunotherapy.
The target audience for this conference is basic and translational scientists, both senior and young investigators with an interest in DNA damage and repair mechanisms and/ or Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy, as well as clinicians with an interest in cancer immunotherapy including those involved in the development of novel therapeutic approaches to treatment.
