10 October 2005
Programme
An international workshop on the premature ageing disorder Werner’s syndrome jointly sponsored by SPARC and the BBSRC International Relations Unit.

Professor Ian Hickson (Oxford): Enzymology of the RecQ helicases
Dr Lynne Cox (Oxford): Interactions between the WRN protein and PCNA.
Tuesday 11th October 2005
Professor Judith Campisi (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory): Replicative senescence and Werner’s syndrome.
Dr Duncan Baird (Cardiff): Telomere dynamics in Werner’s syndrome.
