Synopsis
Epigenetic mechanisms, including chemical modifications of DNA and histones as well as regulation by non-coding RNAs, are fundamental mechanism regulating gene expression. Various epigenetic mechanisms have pivotal roles in the nervous system and aberrant epigenetic regulation contributes to pathogenesis in many brain disorders. In parallel, epitranscriptomic mechansims cover over 170 different modifications of various RNA. Recent studies have shown diverse role of epitranscriptomic regulation of diverse process in the nervous system, from neurogenesis, learning and memory, to regeneration and cancer. The field is particularly excited by the possibility of clinical translation as shown by the recent profound success in using modified mRNA for COVID 19 vaccine. This meeting will bring together pioneers, experts and junior investigator 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, and discuss future directions of the field. The meeting will offer opportunity and platform for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, clinical fellows and junior investigator to present their work and interact with leaders in the field and for interdisciplinary collaborations.

Please bring your poster to registration and hand this to a member of the Fusion team. They will advise of your poster number and display your poster for you.
Your poster will remain on display for the duration of the conference, allowing presenters to take advantage of the refreshment breaks and free time for valuable networking opportunities, in addition to the official poster session.
Please check the programme and note the date and time of the poster session(s). Your poster will be judged during the poster session and prizes will be awarded at the Gala Dinner.
Posters will be taken down by the Fusion team and will be ready for collection at the Fusion desk on the final day of the conference.
LinkedIn forum
Bringing together the global community of researchers and scientists interested in brain developmental disorders, aging and neurodegeneration.
Relevant specialties are wide-ranging, reflecting the importance of neuro research in many aspects of health and disease, including; neural development, brain research, neurogenesis, network regulation, stem cell-based neural disease, neurodegenerative diseases, epigenetics and neuroepitranscriptomics.
The group is open to all and is intended as a networking forum for past, present and future participants of Fusion Conferences as well as those interested in the related topics.
