Event description

This conference will take place at EMBL Heidelberg, with the option to attend virtually.

Conference Overview

Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence. At least three systems, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs (ncRNA), are considered to play fundamental roles in epigenetic regulation.

Research over the last two decades has uncovered the role of epigenetics in a variety of human disorders and fatal diseases. Moreover, influence of age, environment, lifestyle, and disease state on epigenetic states is being increasingly appreciated and actively studied.

This conference provides an international forum for cutting-edge research in chromatin and epigenetics. It provides the ‘focal hub’ for scientists to present their research and exchange ideas. Renowned speakers will cover the latest advances in the field.
