The 3rd Fusion conference on Neuroepigenetics and Neuroepitranscriptomics brought together leaders in the field and junior investigators as well as trainees to discuss many exciting topics from April 28 to 30, 2023 at the beautiful site of Riviera Maya, Mexico. The meeting started with a keynote talk by Eric Nestler, followed by 34 talks by speakers from north America, Asia, Australia and Europe, including many junior investigators, woman scientists, and those from under-represented groups. In addition, there were a total of 40 poster presentations. The meeting awarded multiple fellowships to support early career investigators with the enthusiastic support of meeting organizers and many invited speakers. The meeting covered topics ranging from epigenetic and epitranscriptomic regulation during brain development, neuronal maturation, plasticity to brain disorders and drug development. Most speakers included their latest and unpublished results in their talks. Moreover, the poster presentations were of extremely high quality. There were numerous opportunities for discussions and interactions with a meeting size of 85 attendees and in a relaxed beautiful location. The meeting concluded with a gala dinner, where 6 poster awards were presented. The fusion team provided excellent support before and throughout the meeting and sponsors, media partners and exhibitors made this meeting possible. The Fusion conference series on neuroepigenetics amd neuroepitranscriptomics started in 2018 and has become the most favorite meeting for many investigators in this exciting, rapidly advancing and expanding field. We are looking forward to the next meeting in a couple of years.

Epigenetic mechanisms - including DNA and histone modifications, as well as regulation by non-coding RNAs - have pivotal roles in the nervous system. Aberrant epigenetic regulation also contributes to pathogenesis in various brain disorders. There are a number of recent ground-breaking discoveries of new features of epigenetic marks and regulation that are enriched in the nervous system, leading to an emerging new field of “neuroepigenetics”. In addition, new discoveries of modification of mRNAs and long non-coding RNAs lead to a new field of “epitranscriptomics”. This meeting will bring together experts and pioneers in studying neuroepigenetics and epitranscriptomics to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive picture of epigenetic and epitranscriptomic mechanisms in neural development, reprogramming and cell identity, plasticity, neuronal function and dysfunction. The meeting will offer opportunity for interdisciplinary interactions and future collaborations.
The deadline for the Early Career Researchers Grants has now closed. All candidates will be contacted by Fusion in due course once submissions have been reviewed.
Take advantage of this fantastic opportunity for students! Register an academic and bring a student for only $777. Unfortunately, Postdocs are not eligible for this offer.

We have wanted to contract with a property in the Riviera Maya for some time as it is a beautiful area of Mexico and has a very different vibe to the hustle and bustle of Cancun. Located just 8 miles from Tulum, this hidden gem is the perfect destination for those who love admiring, exploring or enjoying nature. Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya will captivate your senses with unparalleled natural views, bold flavors, clear blue skies, the gentle touch of the cool breeze and the irresistible aromas of this tropical paradise. We have a feeling this is going to be a new favourite amongst our delegates.

Stretching from the fishing village of Puerto Morelos to the biosphere reserve of Sian Ka'an, the Mayan Riviera offers an unforgettable Caribbean coastline experience with beautiful white-sand beaches and brilliant turquoise colored water. This world-renowned paradise is home to mangroves and lagoons, ancient Mayan cities, ecological reserves and adventure parks, and the world's second largest coral reef.
The hotel is located just a few miles from Tulum, a town on the Caribbean coastline of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. It’s known for its spectacluar beaches and well-preserved ruins of an ancient Mayan port city. The area also offers incredible cavern diving opportunties and beautiful cenotes to explore. We would highly recommend joining one of the group activities to Tulum or the Gran Cenote - they will make for an unforgettable conference experience!
