SUMMARY:Cellular responses to DNA damage: mechanistic insights and therape
 utic applications - Prof. Steve Jackson\, University of Cambridge

DESCRIPTION:Very recent scientific and technological breakthroughs now all
 ow researchers to study fundamental aspects of human cell biology with hit
 herto unimaginable depth\, breadth and precision. Using paradigms derived 
 from my academic laboratory – one of which has led to the drug olaparib/
 LynparzaTM that is being used to treat cancer patients worldwide –  I wi
 ll highlight how “blue skies” research into cell function can provide 
 insights into disease mechanisms and identify new opportunities for allevi
 ating cancer. I will also explain how the approaches that my laboratory us
 es may have utility in the context of human diseases associated with prote
 in misfolding and/or aggregation.
