    Events - Systems Epigenetics: Towards Precision Cancer Medicine - 27-30 November 2018, Amsterdam, Netherlands

    This conference brings together scientists from multidisciplinary fields employing different research strategies:

      • Epigenetic profiling at genome-wide and/or single cell level to identify complex dynamic regulatory interactions, • Bioinformatics and mathematical modelling to understand and predict observed (dynamic) phenotypic responses, • Innovative epigenetic interference tools using for instance CRISPR/dCas-based epigenetic editing tools to locally overwrite epigenetic signatures and to verify the impact of defined alterations in epigenetic regulation.

    The meeting provides a platform for scientists focusing on fundamental and biomedical research, clinicians and private sector scientists.

    The Systems Epigenetics: Towards Precision Cancer Medicine Conference is organized in the context of the EpiPredict EU H2020 Innovative Training Network (www.EpiPredict.eu) coordinated by Dr Pernette Verschure.
