Meeting in Strasbourg: Chromatin & Epigenetics: from omics to Single Cells

409_13_ST Poster for Chromatin and Epigenetics Event
Maria Elena Torres Padilla and Robert Schneider are organising together with Abcam a meeting in Strasbourg in October 14th-15th, 2014.

They have a great line of speakers confirmed, and hope to link major aspects of chromatin regulation from omics approaches to single cell approaches.

Registration deadline is coming soon ! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask them!

We broke the record of EMBL site entries !

We would like to thank you all for coming to our last meeting at EMBL/ILL. Apparently, we broke the local record in the number of site entries ! They did not have enough visitor badges at the entrance! Next time, we will use a more efficient way of registration!

The next meeting will take place at the IAB on September 19th 2013. The main seminar will be presented by Sophie Polo, head of the Group Epigenome Integrity (Unit Epigenetics and Cell Fate, Paris). Sophie Polo is studying molecular players that control histone dynamics and alterations in higher-order chromatin structure in response to genotoxic stress (website).

The short talks and the final program will be announced soon!
