In the last couple of years the word epigenetics became used in several meanings.

This meeting will try to review the concepts of epigenetics, the current state of the research in this field and the research methods of the field. Beside this we plan to be a meeting forum for the researchers and clinicians who are studying or planning to study topics in the field of epigenetics.

We plan to put forward those topics that deal mainly with the covalent modifications of the chromatin (DNA methylation and histone tail modifications) and their consequences especially those that define the transcriptional possibilities of a cell in a specific chromatin context.

Please join us at the meeting! We encourage everybody to submit an abstract. The results can be presented on posters or by talks, most of which will be selected from the submitted abstracts.
