94th Harden Conference: Machines on Genes

Conference
Date: 08-Jun-2026 to 11-Jun-2026

Timely and accurate nucleic acid transactions are essential for cell proliferation, homeostasis, and cell fate determination. To carry out these processes, molecular machines act on DNA and RNA to facilitate chromosome replication, epigenetic inheritance, DNA repair, transcription, and translation. The dynamics and context-dependent regulation of these machines are critical for their function but are often poorly understood.

 

This meeting will bring together a diverse group of researchers that study complex molecular pathways by integrating biochemistry, structural biology, biophysics, and molecular cell biology.


We will highlight recent mechanistic discoveries and emerging technologies that enable breakthrough research. A central aim of the meeting is to showcase the contributions of early-career researchers working across disciplines, and to promote interactions between emerging and established leaders in the field.

 

This meeting is now SOLD OUThowever you can still register your interest to attend if spaces become available.
