We are pleased to announce the International 2017 KAUST Research Conference on Environmental Epigenetics taking place from February 12 to 15. The conference will cover the multifaceted mechanistic roles that the epigenome and phenotypic variation play in development, cell identity, plasticity, adaptation, inheritance and tissue regeneration.
This event marks a strategic partnership between the KAUST Environmental Epigenetics Program (KEEP), the Center for Epigenetics and Metabolism (CEM) at the University of California, Irvine, and the Laboratory of Gene Expression at Salk Institute, which are aimed at advancing fundamental knowledge in the field of epigenetics.
The program of the meeting will cover key topics in epigenetics and in particular the fundamental mechanisms that control genome and environmental interaction mediated by the epigenome and how these matter for the comprehension of cell identity, memory, plasticity, adaptation and reprogramming.
