2nd Dynamic DNA and RNA Structures in Damage Responses & Cancer Conference

22 Feb 2016 - 25 Feb 2016

Cancun, Mexico

Chairs

Report

The 2016 conference focused on insights into dynamic DNA and RNA complexes acting in DNA damage response and cancer and comprising targets for advanced cancer interventions and for understanding and preventing carcinogenesis. Returning conference chairs, Sir Tom Blundell (FRS, FMedSci, Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge, UK) and Dr. John Tainer (Director (SIBYLS Advanced Light Source, Professor, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, USA) brought together under one roof many of the people driving advances in defining the relevant structural biology and mechanisms, in order to enable uniquely productive and informative interactions for those working on DNA damage responses and cancer. The meeting emphasized informal as well as formal discussions in concert with informative talks and poster sessions.

The talks concerned the frontiers of structural biology for DNA and RNA damage responses and cancer. Highlights on damage responses included cutting-edge structural and single-molecule approaches to characterize damage recognition, ribonucleotide repair, non-coding RNAs, the connection of inflammation with DNA damage, and epigenetics in the repair responses. Discussion was vigorous and informative but the chairs kept the meeting on time to preserve time for informal discussions and subgroup meetings on collaborations. The conference venue had breath-taking views of the Caribbean Sea and white sandy beaches that facilitated informal as well as formal interactions and conversations. One thing that differentiates this conference from others is the combination of top researchers with younger investigators and the very effective interactions among them.

The Poster Session was extremely successful and generated many interactive discussions. We were delighted to award five prizes to the following winners;

1st Place - Ms. Julia Reinert
2nd Place - Ms. Somaira Nowsheen
3rd Place - Ms. Elizabeth O'Brien
4th Place - Mr. Shun-Hsiao Lee
5th Place - Mr. Cory Rice

The Closing Comments by Walter Chazin and Tom Blundell generated a vibrant discussion linking DNA repair enzymes to changes in expression and even animal behavior. There was the feeling that there is an increasing need to form partnerships between creative talent in the academic sector with innovation and technical advances being championed by industry. Overall, several insights were discussed. During the conference collaborations were established, which may well lead to some of the next breakthrough results.

The meeting was expertly organized and supported by Fusion Conferences, Ltd.  We thank Laura Trundle and her team for their helpful interactions with the organisers and participants.

Synopsis

This conference will focus on insights into dynamic DNA and RNA complexes involved in the damage response and cancer. It will emphasize informal as well as formal discussions together with informative talks and poster sessions. DNA repair is a target for advanced cancer interventions. DNA repair systems are also essential for preventing carcinogenesis. The 2016 conference will focus on dynamic complexes and the control of biological outcomes relevant to cancer biology and the development of new therapeutic targets and strategies. Talks will include highlights on damage responses including cutting-edge structural and single-molecule approaches to characterize damage recognition, ribonucleotide repair, non-coding RNAs, the inflammation – damage connection, and epigenetics in the repair responses.

Key Sessions

Key sessions will include emerging results and breakthrough methods concerning:

  1. DNA and RNA complexes
  2. Chromatin Remodeling
  3. Post-translational modifications
  4. Interface of repair with Replication, Transcription and Recombination
  5. RNA responses to damage
  6. Pathway selection & cross-talk
  7. Damage signaling and processing
  8. DNA repair and disease

Fiesta Americana Condesa

This stylish hotel features contemporary Mexican architecture, including one of the largest and most impressive thatched-roof "palapas" in the entire country. There are cultural activities, arts and crafts and sports programs to keep you constantly entertained, plus time to relax and enjoy the Mayan culture, soak up the Caribbean sunshine and revel in the international ambiance that settles in after the sun goes down.

Throughout your stay delegates will enjoy a full meal plan, inclusive of beverages. Take your pick from the aromatic Asian delights at Kaumbu, traditional fare at El Mexicano, delicious international cuisine at Kalmia Buffet or perhaps sample the sumptuous Italian dishes at Rosato. There are also several other dining opportunities such as the Cevichería, Pizzeria, Sushi Corner, pool and lounge bar areas. The Gala Night with either a Mayan or Caribbean theme takes place on the third evening of the conference with a mouth-watering feast of local cuisine, an open bar and amazing local entertainment.  We welcome all delegates and their accompanying persons to the Gala Night – a truly fun filled night not to be missed!

Hotel Facilities

  • Lagoon Pool
  • Extensive Health Club and Spa
  • Complimentary Wi-Fi in guest rooms and throughout hotel and conference areas

The Fiesta Americana Condesa, Cancun is the 2015 Winner of the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence and also received the Travellers Choice Award in 2014. 

The remains of ancient Mayan cities are scattered throughout the Yucatan Peninsula and no trip to Cancun would be complete without a visit to these majestic temples and pyramids set amongst lush tropical vegetation. We will be working very closely with a reputable tour company who will be organising trips to Tulum, Chichen Itza, Coba and Xcaret  to name a few, some of which may require a full day. Full day excursions will be arranged pre or post conference and may be on an individual or group booking so we would recommend booking extra nights to extend your stay as early as possible to avoid disappointment should these excursions be of interest to you and/or your party. For further information please contact us.

Location

Cancun is a delightful combination of natural beauty, islands, ecological reserves and white sandy beaches. However, besides sun, sand and sea, this destination also offers an infinite variety of underwater activities to choose from: the diving, snorkelling and fishing here are outstanding and you will find an undersea world packed with tropical fish that live on the second largest barrier reef in the world. Sports enthusiasts might choose one of the many eco-tourism activities, such as cycling or hiking through the tropical forest or kayaking through mangroves, or something a little more adventuresome, like zip lining through the treetops.

Apart from the more well-known ancient Mayan archealogical sites such as Tulum, Cobá and Chichén Itzá you may like to visit the Aktun Chen caverns, voted one of the Top 10 underwater walks by National Geographic described as a truly magical experience.

Tulum And Playa Del Carmen Shopping Tour

Our journey begins in the magical ancient Tulum Archaeological Zone, discovered by John L. Stephens in 1842. Perched on top of a cliff facing the Caribbean Sea, it is the only entire walled in-group of Mayan Ruins ever discovered. Under the advice of an official English speaking tour guide, the group will go around the structures getting the history and spirit of the Mayans. Afterwards we head Playa del Carmen, an authentic Mexican town, popular because of its beautiful beaches with turquoise water colour and the famous 5th Avenue where the participants will browse around the shops aside to explore. All kind of typical items, handcrafts, pottery, typical rugs most of them hand made by top artisans, fine boutiques selling everything imaginable. A unique experience! A group lunch can be arranged in one of the restaurants or it can be at leisure.

Ek Balam and Cenote

Visit the archaeological site of Ek-Balam. Ek Balam means Bright Star Jaguar in Maya language. This ancient Maya city had its glory before Chichen Itza. This archaeological site is one of the latest attractions because of its most recent restoration. Discover the mysterious Maya Cenote, enjoy its beautiful natural formations and great natural pool of 80m diameter. During the tour you will see different Maya communities. Take home your memories with the beautiful photographs taken by native photographers during the activities.

Sea Passion Catamaran

Isla Mujeres (Island of Women) is one of the Mexican Caribbean’s favourite destinations. Sail the beautiful turquoise bay from Cancun to Isla Mujeres aboard the Sea Passion I or Sea Passion III, a one-of-a-kind 75 & 60 foot maxi-catamarans, designed for passenger comfort. Enjoy a sail and snorkelling in the National Marine Park. Relax. In the full day activity the participants will have the opportunity to disembark in the Island. You can enjoy exquisite dining at the Beach Club “ElPescador” and the overwhelming views of the turquoise ocean decorated by coconut palm trees and hammocks.

Selvatica Extreme Canopy Tour

Located between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, only 35 minutes form Cancun’s International Airport. Over 250 acres of Tropical Jungle, in Selvatica you will be able to experience a unique adventure in the longest zip-line circuit  in North America, recognized by Travel & Leisure magazine as one of the 35 great adventures in the World, divided in 12 zip lines varying in lengths and heights from 270 ft. to over 2,000 ft, it will make you fly over the jungle. Take a ride on a military vehicle through the jungle to get to the millenary natural cenote. With crystal and pristine waters you will be able to swim choosing between a water zip line or the diving platform. Live this unique and exciting adventure and feel the emotion and adrenaline running through your body.

Coba

Deep in the heart of the Quintana Roo jungle and only 24 miles from southwest of Tulum, approximately 2 1/2 south of Cancun is COBA, an archaeological site that dates from the Classis period. Unlike other Mayan sites in Quintana Roo, Coba was still occupied after the Spanish Conquest. 
This incredible Site once occupied an area of almost 100 square kilometers (60 st. miles). The pyramid of Nohoch Mul-43 meters (130  ft.) high-is the tallest pre-Hispanic structure in the Yucatan peninsula. The main pyramids are the Coba Group, near the entrance, Las Pinturas (The Paintings), named because of the colour still visible on the arches; the Macanxoc, located next to Macanxoc Lake; and Chumuc Mul, the main stucco pyramid which still contains its original colour. 
After a very cultural tour, be prepared to enjoy a delicious lunch in one of the magic restaurants of the area.

For further details on the above and other tours available please contact Tropical Incentives where Francisco Mora or an alternative representative will be happy to assist you.

2nd Dynamic DNA and RNA Structures in Damage Responses & Cancer Conference

Cancun, Mexico

Chairs

Group Activities

Chichen-Itzá Group Tour - Friday 26th February 2016

We have arranged an exciting private group tour for all 2016 DDRC participants. The tour will take place the day immediately following the conference on Friday 26th February 2016.

Chichen-Itzá, recently nominated one of the new 7th wonders is  the ancient city whose name means "in the mouth at the Itzáe's Well", was in its time of grandeur (between 800 and 1200 A.D.), the centre of political, religious and military power in Yucatán, if not all of South-eastern Meso America. Chichen-Itzá is located 125 miles West of Cancun about 2:15 hrs. It is the most visited archaeological site on the Peninsula, famed for its extraordinary architectural beauty. When the Spaniards arrived in Chichen-Itzá, it had long been abandoned, a victim of the Mayapan wars. Somewhere between 1196 and 1441 the May culture collapsed on the northern shores of the peninsula. The conqueror found the buildings in ruins; their names and uses lost to time. Present names and uses are intelligent guesses.

The tour is optional and should you wish to participate we would ask that you email laura@fusion-conferences.com to confirm your participation no later than Monday 15th February as we are required to confirm numbers in advance due to transportation requirements.

$155.00 – Requires 6 participants
$115.00 – Requires 10+ participants
*Please consider an additional $5.00 gratuity, per person.
