title: The first Sino-German Symposium on DNA Repair and Human Diseases.
abstract: The first Sino-German Symposium on DNA Repair and Human Diseases was held in the Capital Normal University, Beijing, China, from October 9th to 11th, 2010. It was initiated and organized by Xingzhi Xu and Zhao-Qi Wang with strong support from top scientists in the field from China, Germany and the United States. Financially, it was fully supported by the Sino-German Center for Science Promotion jointly founded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). This report summarizes 35 plenary lectures presented during this three-day symposium, with topics ranging from DNA damage checkpoint signaling, DNA repair, posttranslational protein modifications in DNA damage response (DDR) to DDR in ageing and cancer. This symposium stimulated extensive discussions on science and potential collaboration among the 230 participants.
