Evolution, Structure and Function of Chromosomes High Order Structure
Institut Pasteur, Paris
June 4 (2pm) –June 7 (6pm) 2019 http://www.hic2019.conferences-pasteur.org/
Talk abstracts deadline: May 6
Poster abstract & Registration deadline: June 3
Epigenetic Mechanisms Across Scales: From Molecules to Environment and Evolution
Application Deadline: April 1, 2019
Instructors: Karen Adelman, Aaron Johnson, Marc Mendillo
This course integrates omics approaches to understand the principle of chromatin operation and its biological relevance. We will analyse the composition and variation of chromatin components, and the “epigenetic landscape” at key time points following the induction of cellular differentiation.
Translational control focus of attention extends to many fields, including developmental biology, neurobiology, cell physiology, disease, synthetic and systems biology, among others. Besides messenger RNA translation, the conference features advances in epitranscriptomics and non-coding RNAs that influence the translation process.
Exploring the developmental origins of health and disease
Audience: scientists working on foetal programming, ecologists and evolutionary biologists interested in the effects of the parental environment on offspring.
Discussion topics will include:
Abstract submission deadline: May 13, 2019
This year’s conference will cover a broad spectrum of epigenomic discoveries, opportunities, and also challenges, in human normal biology and in disease and discuss and discuss epigenomic approaches in common human diseases.
The symposium will focus in particular on how metabolites and metabolic networks impact gene regulation, on recently discovered roles of metabolites in disease and how this open novel therapeutic avenues.
This meeting aims to present the most recent advances in the mechanistic understanding of DNA metabolic processes at the single-molecule level, using both in vivo and in vitro approaches.
Bringing together leading figures in nuclear receptor research, to discuss emerging roles and their implications for health and disease in an intimate meeting that will generate meaningful idea exchange to further shape this influential field.
Talks will cover a broad range of topics, including chromosome organisation, long-range interactions, chromatin assembly, stem cell regulation/differentiation, RNA-based mechanisms, transcription regulation, DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation.
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.
This meeting will appeal to Molecular/Cell Biologists/Geneticists & Biochemists interested in genome stability. Researchers interested in the molecular basis of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and ageing and those with an interest in high throughput genetic and pharmacological screening methods.
