General Information
Epigenetic variation plays an important role in disease processes and provides a promising focus for disease prediction, prevention and treatment. Technological advancements have fuelled a dramatic increase in the scale, breadth and availability of epigenomic reference maps, including population and environmental epigenomic datasets.
Our 11th Epigenomics of Common Diseases conference will highlight recent developments in experimental and computational epigenomics. How new technologies and translational approaches are being applied to a range of common diseases will be explored. Discussions will focus on genetic epidemiology, population epigenetics, multi-omics and pharmacogenomics in common human diseases.
This conference will be a hybrid meeting – with onsite or virtual attendance.
Deadline for submissions: Abstract and bursary deadline: 20 September 2022
