With significant advances in the clinical development of epigenetic therapies – from the first wave of HDACs to the progression of candidates such as EZH2 – we are seeing that targeting epigenetic regulation can be effective in combatting disease. In addition to these clinical developments, strides are being made in understanding the fundamental biology, verifying novel epigenetic regulators and designing compounds as potential drug candidates.
Now is the time for the whole ecosystem to build on this existing success to collaboratively develop the next generation of epigenetic based therapeutics.
The EpiC 2016 agenda has been crafted with expertise from the field to address hot topics in this field from target validation, through to drug discovery, design and clinical development. Through the latest case studies and industry insights It will help you apply current industry successes and technology advances to supercharge the translation from epigenetic target to specific, efficacious therapy.
Attend the expert speaker line-up in Boston to engage in interactive panel sessions, workshops, roundtable sessions and a collaborative discussion with your peers from industry and academia.
