1ST COURSE ON
GENOME
INSTABILITY AND
HUMAN DISEASE 2016
Theme of course:
Genome Instability and Human diseases
Description of course:
Genome instability is a hallmark of cancer cells but also a cause of genetic diseases in humans.
Our understanding of the causal relationships between genome instability and the development of
human diseases rely on our knowledge of the fundamental mechanisms of DNA metabolism,
including spatial genome organization to genome expression and regulation during development or
in response to environmental stress.
The dysfunctions of basic mechanisms linked to genome metabolism underlie human diseases
including cancer.

Course objectives:
- Gain knowledge of mechanisms ensuring genome stability, from fundamental molecular pathways (DNA
replication, repair, transcription, genome organization) up to large scale approaches (molecular signature
using NGS and proteomic).
- Highlight how a research continuum, from basic research to clinical and translational research, provides
opportunities to solve human health issues.
Educational objectives:
- Encourage the students to speak. Students will ensure the moderator role and introduce speakers +
elevator speech
Train students to the evaluation process by awarding themselves the poster price.
Topics:
- Basics mechanisms for maintaining genome stability (repair, replication, DNA damage signaling, spatial
genome organization)
- Dysfunction of these pathways in human diseases (cancer, aging, immunodeficiency).
- Molecular signature of Genome Instability
- The DNA Damage Response as anti-cancer therapeutic targets and tools for diagnostic/prognostic.
Workshops:
- Elevator speech
- Poster Session
- CRISPR Technologies
