Recombination Mechanisms Conference

Report

The first Fusion conference on ‘Recombination Mechanisms’ was held at the lovely Dolce CampoReal Hotel near Lisbon, continuing the tradition of this meeting which has now exceeded 50 years. Although the scientific problems have advanced during this time, as have the technologies used to pursue them, studies of recombination and its role in DNA repair, replication fork maintenance and meiosis are providing exciting new insights into these fundamental cellular processes. Rapid advances are being made in all aspects of the field and in particular with relation to the actions of tumour suppressors such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, and their roles in maintaining genome stability and cancer avoidance. Additionally, emerging technologies such as cryo-electron microscopy are now allowing structure-function studies that provide key insights into human disease.

Highlights of the meeting included four amazing Keynotes from Dana Branzei, Andre Nussenzweig, Scott Keeney and Neil Hunter, supported by 43 talks from leaders in the field as well as a smattering of junior trainees. An important aspect was the high-quality poster sessions that facilitated productive interactions between established scientists and junior researchers. All participants enjoyed the inclusivity and family-feel of the meeting, which was enabled by the remarkable Fusion conference team, and in particular Shannon the lead organiser. The meeting concluded with a gala dinner, dancing, and the traditional fully clothed jump into the swimming pool.

This conference series is now in good hands with Fusion, and we look forward to the next meeting in 2025.

Synopsis

All spaces for this conference have been filled and so we have had to close registration before the deadline. If you would like to be added to our wait list, please contact Shannon to be notified if a slot becomes available. 

Genetic recombination plays a fundamental role in all cells. In mitotic cells, recombination provides an error-free mechanism for the repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and promotes replication fork stability. In meiotic cells, it promotes the shuffling of genetic material and is important for genetic variation and evolution. Recombination takes place by interactions between homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids, and involves specialised enzymes that promote homologous pairing, DNA exchange and chromosome/chromatid separation. It is essential for the equal and accurate separation of DNA at cell division. 

The conference will provide the platform for researchers in the recombination and repair fields to present their new unpublished data that sheds novel insights into not only the mechanisms of DSB repair by recombination, but also the consequences of inaccurate repair leading to cancer. It is now clear that many inheritable cancers, including those linked to defects in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, are caused by defects in homologous recombination. Understanding the precise mechanisms of recombinational repair is therefore critical for the development of new drugs that can target these diseases and improve human health.

The conference will be multi-disciplinary, and include genetic, biochemical, structural, and genomic approaches to understand all aspects of recombination.

Key Sessions

  • Mitotic recombination mechanisms
  • Meiotic recombination mechanisms
  • Proteins and structures
  • Replication fork stability
  • Inheritable cancers and therapies

Location

The Dolce CampoReal Lisboa is nestled between the vineyards and the extraordinary landscape of the Socorro and Archeira Mountains.

Lisbon is only a short 30-minute drive away. The Portuguese capital is constantly recognised as one of the greatest cities in the world, a claim confirmed by the “Lonely Planet Guides", who named Lisbon one of the world’s top 10 cities. Lisbon in one of the world’s oldest cities, predating the likes of London, Rome and Paris by hundreds of years. Hillsides covered in tumbledown houses and a mix of baroque and neoclassical buildings, including cathedrals and palaces, make up Lisbon’s skyline. The city is a combination of old and new, with beautiful modern buildings constructed near renovated historical landmarks and ruins.

Uber also operate in and around Lisbon and there are other Portuguese taxi-hailing apps such as MyTaxi, TaxisLisboa and Coop Taxis, all offering reasonable rates.

Pre-booked Airport Transfers

Should you wish to pre-book a taxi transfer from the airport, please find below details of a transportation provider who is aware of our groups. Please contact the supplier directly via Email or WhatsApp with any queries or booking requests and use ‘Fusion Conferences’ as a reference.

Up to 3 passengers - €75.00
4 to 7 passengers - €95.00
8 to 20 passengers - €190.00
