DNA Repair Special Interest Group

The DNA Repair Special Interest Group brings together EMS members interested in DNA repair and related areas such as DNA damage, genomic instability, DNA damage responses, mutagensis and cell death pathways. At the annual EMS meeting we meet for breakfast and informally discuss a topic of interest for the group. We also brainstorm about topics of symposia and keynote lectures for the next year's EMS meeting and representatives bring these ideas to the program committee meeting the last day of the meeting.

For more information please contact the co-chairs Joann Sweasy, and Mats Ljungman. Interests include :

induction of DNA damage
DNA repair enzymology
activation of DNA damage response pathways
mechanisms of mutagenesis
physiological consequences of DNA repair deficiencies

At every annual EMS meeting, the DNA Repair Special Interest Group has a breakfast meeting where we very informally discuss different topics of interest to the group.
