Spatial Genome Organization Conference
Melia Nassau Beach Hotel, Nassau, Bahamas
General Information
The conference will bring together scientists 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. Currently, these topics are typically addressed in a small session of other conferences however the field of spatial genome organization has grown substantially over the past two decades warranting the creation of a dedicated and continuous conference.
Join us alongside scientific chairs Karim Mekhail (University of Toronto) and Evi Soutoglou (IGBMC) at the Melia Nassau Beach Hotel, Bahamas from the 25 – 28 February 2019.
Conference sessions will include:
- Structure and function of subnuclear domains
- Topogically Associated Domains (TADs) and similar domains
- Signalling cues, cellular states and genome organization
- DNA damage and spatial genome organization
- Genome structure in health and disease
- Workshop I: Genome editing and super-resolution microscopy
- Workshop II: Chromosome conformation capture, sequencing and databases
- Workshop III: Young scientists in the era of spatial genome organization, how to get published?
