EMBL Conference
Registration is not yet open for this event. If you are interested in receiving more information please register your interest.
This conference will take place at EMBL Heidelberg, with the option to attend virtually.
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 people to present their research and exchange ideas. Renowned speakers will cover the latest advances in the field, broadly encompassing but not restricted to the areas listed below.
“The conference was very thoughtfully organised, and the subject matter allowed me to deepen my knowledge on many interesting levels. It was a valuable experience that I would like to repeat in the future.” – Magdalena, University of Lodz, Poland
“The training provided by EMBL was very fruitful and productive. I would like to be a part of such training in future too and also like to recommend others to be part of it.” – Dr. Laxman Khanal, BPKIHS, Nepal
“Although online, this conference was well-organised with an overall great quality of talks about many novelties. If I can, I will definitely attend the next time, maybe already on-site!” – Tobias Hohl, Max-Planck-Institute of Immunology and Epigenetics, Germany

EMBL wishes to warn sponsors of EMBL conferences and courses of fraudulent schemes purporting to offer sponsorship opportunities on behalf of EMBL or affiliated with EMBL officials. One current scam campaign of which we are aware is conducted using the name ‘Judy Eastman’ (judy@gopcontact.a2hosted.com) and entails approaches to sponsors offering sponsorship opportunities on EMBL’s behalf. Please be kindly advised that all relevant communication regarding sponsorship of EMBL conferences, symposia and courses is handled by EMBL directly and is sent from an official EMBL account. EMBL does not work with any external providers on sponsorship acquisition.
