SUMMARY:Royal Society Meeting: Epigenetics
DESCRIPTION:This conference will provide detailed updates in the exciting field of Epigenetics\, focusing on how chemical modifications to our DNA can shape our health from conception to old age from one generation to the next. Epigenetics is emerging as a key player in medicine. \nThe topics discussed will provide an unparalleled opportunity for those wishing to learn more about the fascinating world of epigenetics with an exciting and engaging overview of its past\, present and potential future impact upon our understanding of health and disease. \nCommon unexplained questions such as; how does nature compete with nurture? Why aren’t identical twins actually identical? What elements in our epigenomes affect the health of our children? Can a better understanding of this fascinating field provide those missing parts of the aetiology puzzle? Will be explored and discussed.  \nLeading experts in the field of epigenetic research will present\, discuss\, debate and answer questions on its increasing relevance within a diverse range of clinical disciplines\, as well as sharing their inspirational work that has granted them international renown. \nTopics include: \n\nUnderstanding epigenetics and the role of chemical modifications to DNA in shaping health and disease\nExploring our increasing appreciation of the impact of epigenetics upon a diverse range of biological processes and diseases\, from cancer to mental health\nRecognising the increasing importance of developing an understanding of epigenetics in clinical practice\nDiscussing the role of epigenetics in developmental programming and the bridge between nature and nurture\n\nWhether possessed of an existing clinical or research interest in epigenetics or completely new to the subject\, all are welcome at this event. \nEarly Bird pricing available until 19 April 2019. \n  \nProgramme: \nMelita Irving\, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust: Welcome and introduction \nStephan Beck\, UCL Cancer Institute: Getting up close and personal with epigenetics in health and disease \nSiddharth Banka\, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust: Histone lysine methyltransferases and demethylases in developmental disorders \nJonathan Mill\, University of Exeter Medical School: Epigenetics and neuropsychiatric phenotypes \nDavid Lehane\, University of Sheffield: Epigenetics and primary care \nNessa Carey\, Imperial College London:  Epigenetics – What are the big questions? \nWolf Reik\, University of Cambridge: Gene regulation in mammalian development \nKaren Lilycrop\, University of Southampton: Epigenetics and development programming \nAzim Surani\, University of Cambridge: Pluripotency and germ cell fate determination \nRobert Brown\, Imperial College London: Epigenetic modification following chemotherapy for ovarian cancer \nSir Adrian Bird\,  University of Edinburgh: Keynote lecture: The genetics & epigenetics of DNA methylation and rett syndrome \nPanel discussion:  \nMelita Irving\, Stephan Beck\, Nessa Carey\, Sir Adrian Bird  \nRebecca Oakey\, King’s College London \nRichard Gibbons\, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust \nAlastair Sutcliffe\, University College London \nIdriss Bennani-Baiti\, Cancer Epigenetics Society \n  \n  \nAdditional information on registration and deadlines may be found at the event’s page.
