The conference will bring together researchers interested in better characterizing the non-random organization of the genome while also revealing how this organization is influenced by various cues or disease conditions.
This meeting will bring together scientists who study diverse aspects of mitochondrial biology in order to stimulate interaction and cross fertilization of ideas, leading to new collaborations and synergistic advances.
This exciting three day conference bridges chromatin mechanisms and epigenetic phenomena – two key pillars of modern biology.

A Workshop from the Company of Biologists, organised by Benoit Bruneau and Joanna Wysocka. Website to come
Research over the last two decades has uncovered the role of epigenetics in a variety of human disorders and fatal diseases. Moreover influence of age, environment, lifestyle, and disease state on epigenetic states is being increasingly appreciated and actively studied.
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.
Discussion topics will include:
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.
