DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The 11th Annual Midwest DNA Repair Symposium (AMDRS) will take place at the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, May 16-17, 2009. This symposia series started in Ann Arbor in 1999 with the intention of bringing together scientists and students from the Midwest region on a yearly basis to present and discuss cutting edge DNA repair research. DNA repair is a fundamental cellular process critical to the maintenance of genome integrity and human health whose dysfunction has been linked with many inherited and acquired diseases, especially cancer. The investigators are pleased that this symposia series has been very successful and that it has shown significant growth in the last three years. One key to the success of these symposia is that the investigators have been able to keep the costs low. This has been possible because the symposia have been organized by individuals at their home institutions and that each year funding has been secured to cover some of the key expenses. In times when researchers have restricted funding, the AMDRS has always been a meeting to which principal investigators have been able to take their graduate and postdoctoral fellows for exciting interactions and for the opportunity to present their work. By once again organizing this symposium in Ann Arbor, they signal the start of a second 10-year cycle of these symposia. The three main goals of the AMDRS, to be continued at the 11th AMDRS are: (1) To provide a venue for scientists, principally from Midwestern States, to present and discuss the current research in the field of DNA damage, repair and mutagenesis, and to provide opportunities to foster scientific collaborations. (2) To provide students, postdoctoral fellows, and beginning independent investigators the opportunity to p resent their work to peers and to interact with leaders in the field. (3) To provide an exceptional value of these symposia by keeping them affordable.

描述（由申请人提供） 第11届年度中西部DNA修复研讨会（AMDRS）将于2009年5月16日至17日在密歇根州安阿伯的密歇根大学校园举行。这个系列研讨会于1999年在安阿伯开始，目的是每年将来自中西部地区的科学家和学生聚集在一起，介绍和讨论前沿的DNA修复研究。DNA修复是维持基因组完整性和人类健康至关重要的基本细胞过程，其功能障碍与许多遗传性和获得性疾病，特别是癌症有关。 调查人员感到高兴的是，这一系列专题讨论会非常成功，在过去三年中有了显著增长。 这些研讨会成功的一个关键是研究人员能够保持低成本。之所以能够这样做，是因为专题讨论会是由个人在其本国机构举办的，而且每年都有资金来支付一些关键费用。 在研究人员资金有限的时候，AMDRS一直是主要研究人员能够带着他们的研究生和博士后进行激动人心的互动并有机会展示他们的工作的会议。 通过再次在安阿伯组织这次研讨会，他们标志着这些研讨会第二个十年周期的开始。 AMDRS的三个主要目标将在第11届AMDRS上继续：（1）为主要来自中西部各州的科学家提供一个场所，介绍和讨论DNA损伤，修复和诱变领域的当前研究，并提供促进科学合作的机会。(2)为学生，博士后研究员，并开始独立调查的机会，以表达他们的工作，以同行和在该领域的领导者进行互动。 (3)通过保持这些研讨会的可负担性来提供它们的特殊价值。
