Molecular pathology is one of the linchpins of precision medicine. No longer can treatment decisions related to therapy selection be rendered solely on the basis of histopathological analyses, as genomic analyses of human cancers are resulting in the identification of the genetic determinants of tumourigenesis, cancer progression and therapy response. The pathologists’ role in the implementation [...]

Before the genetic information stored in DNA can be used to direct cell growth and metabolism, it has to be transferred into RNA.  Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) that code for  proteins and noncoding RNAs are key components in the transmission of genetic information in all life forms - from viruses to complex mammalian organisms. Exciting recent [...]

Advancing our Interfaces with the Epigenome Presented by the Society for Biological Engineering (SBE), EpiBio 2018 is a forum for engineers and scientists who are applying the tools and techniques of bioengineering to the area of epigenetics. Academic, clinical, and industrial researchers from several disciplines are invited to share their recent discoveries and developments, and the overarching [...]

The main objectives are to bring scientists together from the fields of epigenetics and promote intensive interdisciplinary interactions facilitated by the medium sized meeting. Therefore the conference program is structured to have a lot of networking opportunity. We expect to have 150 participants including 20 outstanding invited lecturers (please find here the list of confirmed speakers including [...]

About the Workshop In the central dogma of molecular biology, RNA was thought only to pass genetic information from DNA to protein. Most recent findings strongly indicate that RNA modifications, like mRNA methylation, play dynamic regulatory roles that are analogous to the reversible epigenetic modifications of DNA and histone proteins. Understanding the function and mechanisms [...]

After two highly-rated previous editions, the 3rd EACR conference on the topic of personalised medicine will update you on the latest challenges and advances in targeted and immunological cancer therapies. It will cover a broad spectrum of basic, translational and clinical research, all related to currently pressing questions relevant across cancer types. The multidisciplinary programme [...]

Overview This exciting four-day conference at the beautiful luxury oceanfront Meliá Nassau Beach all inclusive resort in Nassau, Bahamas will highlight recent breakthroughs in epigenetics and chromatin research and will foster the collaboration and exchange of scientific expertise and knowledge in one of the most vibrant areas of life sciences. Through scientific presentations, a wide spectrum of topics [...]

This conference brings together scientists from multidisciplinary fields employing different research strategies: (1) Epigenetic profiling at genome-wide and/or single cell level to identify complex dynamic regulatory interactions, (2) Bioinformatics and mathematical modelling to understand and predict observed (dynamic) phenotypic responses, (3) Innovative epigenetic interference tools using for instance CRISPR/dCas-based epigenetic editing tools to locally overwrite [...]

The premier event in malignant and non-malignant hematology Mark your calendar for the world’s most comprehensive hematology event of the year, the 60th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition in sunny San Diego. The meeting will provide an invaluable educational experience and the opportunity to review thousands of scientific abstracts highlighting updates in the hottest topics [...]

Although emerging evidence point to the critical importance of the long non-coding transcriptome in human physiology and pathology, the clinical potential of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as therapeutic and prognostic targets remain largely unexplored. The increasing availability of high throughput technologies and newly developed computational methodologies are rapidly making it possible to address this gap [...]

Current and Future Revolution in Pathology Practice: (Focus on) Immuno-oncology and Cancer Epigenetics ASIP/ASCP will bring together 4 speakers from across two unique disciplines of pathology to discuss the practice, science, and challenges of immuno-oncology and cancer epigenetics intended to inform and education residents, fellows, and practicing pathologists.  The course will begin with a practical [...]

Epigenetics is a major mechanism in human health and disease. Data from a range of diseases (cancer, neurological and immunological disorders) have uncovered altered epigenomes arising from mutations, altered expression and/or copy number alterations of numerous epigenetic factors (histones, DNA and chromatin modifying enzymes, reader proteins, chromatin modulators and noncoding RNAs). Genome-wide analyses have illustrated [...]

Conference Overview Epigenetics refers to heritable change in gene expression that does not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence. At least three systems including DNA methylation, histone modifications and non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) are considered to play fundamental roles in epigenetic regulation. Research over the last two decades has uncovered the role of epigenetics in [...]
