Welcome

Dear colleagues and friends,

We are pleased to announce the upcoming FEBS Advanced Lecture Course: “PARP2025: from molecular aspects to medical applications” scheduled to take place on May 11^th-15^th 2025 in the beautiful Eurometropole of Strasbourg, Illkirch, France. 

The aim of this 5-days course is to establish a forum for the community carrying out research on the family of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) in an intercalating fashion to the CSHL PARP meetings that are held every even year. The topics will cover all PARP-related fields from basic molecular and physiological studies to applied clinical research with an explicit aim to cover drug development and clinical studies.

The advanced lecture course is aimed at young researchers, including PhD students and postdocs, who will have the opportunity to learn about the latest findings in the field, as well as present their own research (as posters and selected oral presentations). All this is organized in a way that provides the ideal setting for networking and close interaction between speakers and young participants. The meeting is expected to host ~100 participants encompassing scientists engaged in drug chemistry, protein crystallography, protein and nucleic acid (bio)chemistry, telomeres, pathophysiology, DNA repair, and translational research.

Young applicants are encouraged to apply for a Travel Grant. Travel Grants will cover full registration fees (shared accomodation in a Twin room). Deadline to apply February 16th, 2025.

We look forward to welcoming you in Illkirch (Strasbourg Eurometrople) in May 2025.

Ivan Ahel, Peter Bai, Daniela Corda, Nicola Curtin, Francoise Dantzer (Local organizer), Hana Hanzlikova, Ivan Matic, Gyula Timinszky, José Yélamos
