This course is an advanced graduate course that explores all aspects of DNA damage and the cellular responses to DNA damage. It is designed for graduate students who have a working knowledge of Chemistry, Molecular Biology and Cellular Biology, and for interested postdocs and researchers. The course consists of a lecture module, open to all, and a discussion module for registered students. In addition, several invited scientists in the field of DNA repair will give seminars and meet with registered students for discussion.
Students will present and discuss research papers. Grades will be given based on student presentation and participation.
