The workshop will be funded and organized jointly by the National Cancer Institute (NCI, US), the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), and the Directorate General Research (DG RTD) from the European Commission, to bring together EU and US researchers and representatives of health advisory bodies. The focus of the workshop will be to characterize the molecular and cellular responses of various organisms to different DNA-damaging agents, in particular chemicals, ionizing radiation, and ultraviolet light. State-of-the-art approaches in genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics will be included, with special emphasis on the importance of networks of interacting DNA repair and signaling pathways as indicators of DNA damage stress responses. The rationale for the Workshop, as well as a preliminary program, is laid out in the introductory part of the enclosed First Announcement (see http://www.medgencentre.nl/molsign-workshop/CortonaSept2003.htm.) The total number of participants is limited to 100, in the expectation that a fruitful exchange of ideas will be most effective in a relatively small group. Money is available for young scientists to attend and present a poster. The deadline for abstracts and registration has been extended till July 21. As envisaged in the Announcement, the program will begin with a series of keynote lectures on the experimental and computationally driven approaches currently being used to measure and analyze global cellular responses to genotoxic stress. This will be followed by several sessions that focus on individual topic areas such as the use of gene profiling and transcriptional regulation patterns to dissect the genetic control of gene expression, new gene discovery, proteomics of DNA damage response and the increasing need for standardization and harmonization of experimental settings and large-scale sets that are involved in a systems biology approach, and phylogenetic similarities and dissimilarities in DNA damage response mechanisms.

Dear Colleagues, We are writing to let you know that we will be organizing an ASM Conference entitled "DNA Repair and Mutagenesis: From Molecular Structure to Biological Consequences" sponsored by the American Society for Microbiology to be held at the Fairmont Southampton Princess, Bermuda, December 7-13, 2003. The conference will bring together the various subdisciplines that collectively comprise the field of DNA Repair and Mutagenesis. Meetings of this type have been held at approximately four year intervals since 1974, the preceding one in this informal series having been at Hilton Head, South Carolina in 1999, and have played a critical role in the development of this exciting area of research. Speakers will include: Genevive Almouzni, Lorena Beese, Serge Boiteux, Jaap Brouwer, Keith Caldecott, Judith Campisi, Gilbert Chu, Priscilla Cooper, Titia de Lange, John Diffley, Sylvie Doubli, Jean-Marc Egly, Stephen Elledge, Tom Ellenberger, Rick Fishel, Marco Foiani, Errol Friedberg, Robert Fuchs, James Haber, Fumio Hanaoka, Phil Hanawalt, Jan Hoeijmakers, Peggy Hsieh, Ian Hickson, Stephen Jackson, Maria Jasin, Penny Jeggo, Joe Jiricny, Roland Kanaar, Richard Kolodner, Stephen Kowalczykowski, Thomas Kunkel, Tony Leadon, Alan Lehmann, Tomas Lindahl, Bndicte Michel, Sankar Mitra, Paul Modrich, Leon Mullenders, Tanya Paull, John Petrini, Louise Prakash, Miroslav Radman, Rodney Rothstein, Leona Samson, Alain Sarasin, Erling Seeberg, Jesper Svejstrup, John Tainer, Shunichi Takeda, Kiyoji Tanaka, Graham Walker, Susan Wallace, Stephen West, Sam Wilson, Richard Wood, Roger Woodgate, and Wei Yang. Some additional speakers on timely topics will be invited closer to the date of the meeting, and furthermore, speakers will be chosen from among the submitted abstracts for shorter presentations. Careful thought has been given to the choice of the site and the design of the program so that participants will be able to enjoy the type of opportunities for informal discussions and interactions that are normally found only at smaller meetings. A special feature of the meeting will be travel grants to help support the participation of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Additional information concerning the meeting and the program is available at: http://www.asmusa.org/mtgsrc/dnarepair2.htm We hope you will mark these dates on your calendars. We look forward to seeing you in Bermuda in December 2003! Best Wishes Graham Walker, Susan Wallace, and Priscilla Cooper 3.4 MOLECULAR CROSS TALK AMONG CHROMOSOME FRAGILITY SYNDROMES 2-4 February, 2004. Madrid (Spain) Scientific Organizers: Hans Joenje, Department of Clinical Genetics and Human Genetics, Free University Medical Centre, Amsterdam Jordi Surralles, Department of Genetics and Microbiology, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain Format: The workshop will consist of lectures and poster sessions; there will be extended time for formal and informal discussion.

Zdzienicka (Al Leiden, The Netherlands) Programme: The human genome has evolved a number of cellular mechanisms in response to chromosome breaks to counteracts the mutational load and prevent tumour transformation. Consequently, defects in these mechanisms increase cancer risk and lead to chromosome fragility cancer-prone syndromes such as Fanconi anemia (FA), ataxia telangiectasia (AT), Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), and several types of hereditary breast cancer with mutation in the BRCA1/BRCA2 genes. Therefore, basic research on these syndromes is particularly interesting not only to find a cure for the patients but also to understand key biological processes required to maintain the genome stability and prevent cancer in the general population. The following topics will be discussed: 1) Nijmegen breakage syndrome and the Mre11-Rad50-NBS1 complex; 2) Ataxia telangiectasia and downstream effectors; 3) Fanconi anemia and its cross talk with DSB repair proteins; 4) BRCA proteins and double strand break repair networking; 5) Cellular response to chromosome breaks.
