Conference Description
The Epigenetics GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
The molecular mechanisms of epigenetics enable cells to perceive and interact with their surroundings. From controlling transcription to enhancing phenotypic diversity, epigenetics has broad impacts on regulating the course of development and ongoing cellular responses to environmental cues. Recent technical advances in single molecule imaging, single cell omics, rapid protein depletion and more, allow for observation and manipulation of these mechanisms with unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution. This meeting will highlight new insights in the epigenetic mechanisms of genomic regulation and beyond, examining how they give rise to stable, sometimes heritable, phenotypes and what influence such phenotypic change has on the organism as a whole. We believe these new insights will bring scientists from different corners of epigenetics closer together in a comfortable, trainee focused environment. Let’s find out!
An outline of the program components for this GRS is displayed below. The seminar chair is currently developing their detailed program schedule, which will include the speakers they select from submitted abstracts, in addition to any additional components outlined below. The detailed program will be available by June 10, 2025. Please check back for updates.
