DNA Replication is one of the most fundamental processes in life. Every dividing cell has to duplicate its genome before cell division. Mistakes during DNA replication are a major cause of genomic instability that can lead to cancer development. With this in mind, research into biochemistry of DNA replication is of high interest for many groups around the world and biotech companies.

The Biochemical Society invites you to submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation to share your work on a variety of themes, which include:

  • Origins of replication
  • Origin firing
  • Elongation and termination
  • Replication and chromatin
  • Replication and transcription
  • Replication stress

This meeting will provide an excellent opportunity to network with colleagues working in this field.

Oral communication slots are available at this meeting. All attendees, particularly researchers in the early stages of their career, are invited to submit a poster abstract for consideration as an oral communication. You can submit your abstract here.

Travel Update

The city of Birmingham is well connected to the rest of the UK through Birmingham International Airport and Birmingham New Street station.

University of Birmingham is also the only university to have University Station with regular trains to Birmingham New Street within 7 minutes.

The conference venue is within walking distance of 8-10 min from the University train station and it is within easy reach to the city centre, as well as University campus.
