THEME
DNA damage repair (DDR) pathways are essential for maintaining genomic integrity in normal cells, yet in cancer these systems can become dysregulated, leading to heightened genomic instability that fuels tumour progression and therapeutic resistance. Genome Maintenance Systems in Cancer, a Nature conference, will explore how defects in DNA damage response machinery shape cancer biology and therapeutic response. Sessions will also address how genomic instability reshapes the tumour microenvironment, influences immune recognition, and affects responses to immunotherapy. By bringing together experts from academia, industry, and clinical practice, the conference aims to foster meaningful dialogue, showcase cutting-edge research, and chart a collaborative path forward for advancing our understand of genome-maintenance failures to ultimately improve patient outcomes.
