The Nuclear Bodies Conference: Hubs of Genomic Activity
July 24–28, 2022
Nova Scotia, Canada
#NBSRC22
Summary
July 24-28, 2022
This FASEB Science Research Conference (SRC) is the only conference focused exclusively on nuclear bodies. This inaugural meeting will focus on the most recent developments linking the biology of nuclear bodies to cancer and other disease states.
This conference aims to unite distinguished researchers as well as new investigators from different fields – such as cell biology, genomics, biophysics, and cancer biology – to foster interdisciplinary synergism, crosstalk, and future collaborations.

Program
The meeting’s main themes are: 1) Presentation of predominantly unpublished, cutting-edge discoveries concerning eukaryotic nuclear bodies; 2) New nuclear body research involving genomic tools and links to cancer and other diseases.
The program is designed to represent the most topical nuclear body research areas and to bring new concepts and emerging topics into focus. The session topics mesh with each other to ensure that all participants, regardless of their primary interests, are engaged throughout the conference. Session topics will include:
New findings on the biological roles of well-known nuclear entities such as nucleoli, Cajal bodies, and nuclear speckles:
