Chromatin biology and epigenetics are exciting research fields at the frontier of modern biology, with considerable impact on fundamental mechanisms of human health and disease. This symposium aims to bring together clinical and preclinical scientists at the forefront of epigenetics and chromatin biology, inflammation, and neuropsychiatry research to discuss the latest advances in the field.
Following the recent successes in oncology, epigenetics research is now opening a new range of promising opportunities in inflammation and neuropsychiatry. We aim to explore future trends in epigenetics and related fields of gene regulation, development, molecular recognition and signalling, with an emphasis on prospects of translation into clinical applications.
