3 rd Epigenetics Conference

Synopsis

The DNA of eukaryotic cells is organized into chromatin. Chromatin is the template of life. It is the vector of genetic information and it is at the core of fundamental processes such as gene regulation, stem cell fate determination and cancer. The study of chromatin structure and function and the study of mechanisms of disease and their diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are mostly covered by separate meetings. However, the boundaries among these various disciplines are disappearing and now, the meeting on "Epigenetics: from mechanisms to disease" will bring together scientists studying chromatin architecture, epigenetics, stem cell biology cancer and other diseases. The talks will cover a broad range of topics, including chromosome organisation, long-range interactions, chromatin assembly, stem cell regulation/differentiation, RNA-based mechanisms, transcription regulation, DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation, as well as the use of genome engineering technologies, single-cell approaches and cutting edge epigenomics and imaging approaches.

Speakers have been selected to broadly reflect lessons learned from a variety of model organisms and experimental approaches. Young scientists will be able to present their work through a large number of short talks selected from submitted abstracts as well as through poster presentation. The program has also allocated ample time for exchanging ideas and discussing novel hypotheses at the end of each session, as well as time for informal interactions and networking.

Student Offer

Take advantage of this fantastic opportunity for students! Fully paying academics can bring a student for only $785. Unfortunately, Postdocs are not eligible. Both registration packages include; accommodation for the 19, 20, 21 May 2022 (on a shared basis for students) and a 24hour all-inclusive food and beverage package for the conference period.

Target Audience

This conference will appeal to PhD students, post-doc and group leaders working in the field of chromatin architecture, epigenetics, stem cell biology and cancer. Scientists active in R&D of small, medium and big pharma or biotech companies.

Educational Need

The primary purpose of workshops is to enhance communication between junior and senior investigators. As mentioned in the executive summary, “Young scientists will have the opportunities to present their work through a large number of short talks selected from submitted abstracts as well as through poster presentation. The program has also allocated ample time for exchanging ideas and discussing novel hypothesis at the end of each session, as well as time for informal interactions and networking”.

Location

Cancun is a delightful combination of natural beauty, islands, ecological reserves and white sandy beaches. However, besides sun, sand and sea, this destination also offers an infinite variety of underwater activities to choose from: the diving, snorkelling and fishing here are outstanding and you will find an undersea world packed with tropical fish that live on the second largest barrier reef in the world. Sports enthusiasts might choose one of the many eco-tourism activities, such as cycling or hiking through the tropical forest or kayaking through mangroves, or something a little more adventuresome, like zip lining through the treetops.

Apart from the more well-known ancient Mayan archealogical sites such as Tulum, Cobá and Chichén Itzá you may like to visit the Aktun Chen caverns, voted one of the Top 10 underwater walks by National Geographic described as a truly magical experience.

- Xcaret Park. Xcaret is a water, theme, amusement, eco-archaeological park and more, in one place. Due to its privileged location in the Mayan jungle among underground rivers, cenotes and facing the Caribbean Sea, there are lots of activities on offer. Approx. 1 hour drive from the hotel. More information - https://www.xcaret.com/en/about-xcaret/

- Tulum Mayan Ruins (Day Trip). The Mayan ruins in Tulum, Mexico, are a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the gorgeous Riviera Maya. Built as a seaport fortress with steep cliffs and limestone walls, the ancient city is one of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites in Mexico, much of which still stands after more than 800 years. Approx. 1 hour 50 minutes drive from the hotel. More information - https://www.islandlifemexico.com/tulum-ruins-visitors-guide/
