Welcome to the IBS Conference on
Genomic Integrity

The IBS Conference on Genomic Integrity, hosted by the Center for Genomic Integrity (CGI) at the Institute for Basic Science, cordially welcomes scientists dedicated to the study of DNA replication, repair, recombination, and damage response. This conference serves as a platform to share recent breakthroughs and to collectively envision the future directions of the field of genomic integrity.

We are pleased to facilitate meaningful exchanges between researchers and editors from a leading scientific journal. Furthermore, this conference offers valuable opportunities for early-career scientists, including students and postdoctoral fellows, to engage with the latest advancements in the field and to receive guidance as they consider their future career paths.
