Deaminet 2024
The 5th International Conference on Base Editing, Prime Editing & Related Enzymes
January 17- 19, 2024, in San Diego, California
at the Estancia La Jolla Hotel
The primary goal of this conference is to bring together investigators interested in base editing enzymes, predominantly APOBEC and ADAR deaminase family members but also other promising enzymes, and discuss ways to harness their activities toward editing for beneficial purposes. Topics will range from fundamental biology to translational and applied applications and include studies on all kingdoms of life. Speakers and participants will represent both academic and commercial interests. An additional goal will be providing an exceptionally comfortable and stimulating atmosphere for the cultivation of new and cross-disciplinary collaborations and ideas and discussions of the rapidly expanding editing field.

Deaminet meeting organizers have learned that third-party companies, Ehotel Services, Exhibitor Housing Services (EHS) – also known as Exhibitor Housing Management (EHM) and Business Travel Management (BTM), are targeting conference speakers and attendees with a fraudulent travel and hotel booking scheme. The company is calling and/or emailing conference speakers and attendees and falsely claiming it is the “official” housing bureau and/or authorized by Deaminet to book hotel and/or travel accommodations for the conference. This is entirely FALSE. The company makes a number of FALSE and FRAUDULENT claims about the conference designed to obtain your credit card so please be aware and do not respond to this scheme.
