Aim and content
This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at graduate schools in the other Nordic countries. All other participants must pay the course fee.
Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student, you will be placed on the waiting list for the course until enrollment deadline. After the deadline of enrollment, available seats will be allocated to students on the waiting list.

Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

1.Understand and describe the main pathways of genome maintenance and their molecular links to cancer and other human diseases
2.Understand the benefits and limitations of different model systems and technologies to study genome maintenance processes
3.Analyze experimental data and communicate scientific hypothesis and results
4.Gain a broad perspective of how basic research can be translated into the clinic

Content

1.Introduction to genome maintenance pathways and diseases

2.Mechanisms and experimental methods:
DNA replication & DNA-crosslink repair
Replication stress, checkpoint signaling and imaging technologies
DNA damage response, protein signaling, and screening technologies
Chromosome Maintenance and Cell cycle progression

3.Physiology and model organisms:
Modeling genome maintenance diseases in mice
Genome instability in germline cells

4.From basic research to the clinic:
Drug design, validation and approval
Novel technologies in disease diagnosis
Disease treatment


Participants
Participants must be enrolled in a graduate program at the Faculty of Health and Medical Science and have an interest in mechanisms of genome maintenance and diseases.
