Please join us for the 2025 Helicase Conference in Lisbon, Portugal, June 29th to July 3rd, 2025.

The 2025 meeting will provide a forum for the rapidly growing field of helicase-related research, a phenomenon fueled by the fact that helicase defects are associated with a broad spectrum of disorders characterized by premature aging, susceptibility to cancers and other diseases normally associated with aging, immunodeficiency or developmental abnormalities (including Bloom syndrome, Werner syndrome, Fanconi Anemia, Xeroderma pigmentosum, Cockayne syndrome, trichothiodystrophy and hereditary forms of breast cancer).

Registration coming soon – please check back.  In the meantime, please email info@helicasesconference.com for additional information.
