Epigenetics and Epigenomics in Health and Disease 17-19 November 2022 Brussels
This International Meeting on “Epigenetics and Epigenomics in Health and Disease” integrated different sessions on: transcription and chromatin in gene regulation, DNA modifications, RNA epigenetics, non-coding RNA, epigenomic tools. Besides bringing the newest findings on epigenetic mechanisms, a special focus was also dedicated to discuss novel and promising therapeutic drugs aimed at reversing specific epigenetic alterations.
The meeting gathered scientists using diverse approaches, such as molecular biology, cell biology genetics, epigenomics, and biochemistry. Researchers from pharmaceutical companies and clinicians working in different fields but sharing the same interests also found the meeting an ideal opportunity to meet, discuss and summarise their work.
Furthermore, to ensure that the conference touched upon the most recent breakthroughs in the fast moving field of epigenetics, there were slots for short talks based on submitted abstracts.
Overall, the meeting provided great opportunities for senior and junior scientists to meet the leaders in the field from both academia and industry, hence forging exciting interdisciplinary interactions and creating potential new collaborations in the booming area of epigenetics and epigenomics and their clinical impacts.
