SUMMARY:Wellcome Trust - Waddington Symposium: Epigenetics in dialogue with the genome
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the home page of the Wellcome Trust – Waddington Symposium Epigenetics in dialogue with THE GENOME \nThe epigenetics field encompasses diverse opinions – even the definition of the word is controversial. How much our own make-up is genetic and what proportion of it is epigenetically determined is also hotly debated. Moreover\, the ability of apparent epigenetic phenotypes (epi-alleles) to be propagated through the germline to the next generation (transgenerational epigenetic inheritance) remains contentious. These conceptual arguments take place against a background of increasing research activity – epigenetics is one of the most active areas in biomedical research. Large-scale mapping projects\, for example\, provide increasingly detailed descriptions of the “epigenome”\, raising as yet incompletely answered questions about the biological role of these chemical marks. Meanwhile there is growing interest in the therapeutic potential of “epigenetic drugs” that can modulate the epigenetic landscape. Genes encoding proteins that read\, write or erase epigenetic marks are often mutated in cancer or in neurological disease. The purpose of this meeting is to provide a forum where the breadth of biological phenomena that impinge on epigenetics can be presented by leading international figures in epigenetics research. The selected speakers reflects our wish that alternative views will be aired and constructively discussed. Our intention is that this will be seen as a landmark meeting\, contributing clarity to one of the most exciting areas of contemporary biomedical research.

SUMMARY:Chromatin Structure and Function: Regulating and Re-Engineering Chromatin: Control of Genome Function
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Description\n\nThe 2016 Gordon Conference on Chromatin Structure and Function will present leading-edge research on chromatin and its role in regulating gene expression\, genome function and cell states. The meeting will highlight how chromatin structures\, ranging from the nucleosome – the “building block” of chromatin – up to the dynamic three-dimensional spatial organization of chromatin\, are regulated and how they control genome functions. \nQuestions at the frontier of the field will be addressed – how is the activity of chromatin proteins regulated\, what is the cross-talk between different chromatin states\, how does folding of chromatin allow for long-range gene regulation\, what is the role of RNA in directing chromatin structure? \nPresentations will encompass a wide variety of technical approaches – from Angstrom level description of chromatin components to visualization of micron-scale structures by light microscopy\, and the use of quantitative proteomics and computational modeling. There will be a focus on new methods for engineering and re-engineering chromatin states to determine the relationships between chromatin structure and function\, and on analysis at the level of single molecules and single cells. \nThis conference has a long history of attracting the very top researchers in the area of chromatin structure and function\, and is an important forum for fostering new ideas\, interactions and collaborations. We aim to integrate new members into this growing field; talks will be reserved for young scientists and minorities\, and all applicants will have the opportunity to present a poster on their work. Many platform presentation topics will be selected from submitted abstracts to ensure inclusion of the latest developments during the formal sessions. Sufficient discussion time will be scheduled into every session to promote the lively exchange of ideas and interpretations and there will be ample time set aside in the afternoons and after the evening sessions for the informal interactions that have always played a key role at this conference.

SUMMARY:Catalyst Grants
DESCRIPTION:Breast Cancer Now is the UK’s leading breast cancer research charity. They believe research is what will ultimately give women with breast cancer more time to live. Their goal: by the year 2050\, no one dies from this disease. \nIn order to reach this goal they have launched a new funding initiative called “Breast Cancer Now Catalyst Programme”. It is meant to bring bring together Europe’s leading breast cancer researchers and the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies to pool resources and stop women dying from breast cancer. \nTheir partner Pfizer provides substantial funding for research grant as well as access to a number of its licensed and investigational drugs that may be useful for treating breast cancer. \nBreast Cancer Now will use its peer review process to decide which research projects will be supported and will have access to Pfizer’s drugs. Pfizer will not be involved in making the decisions about which projects are funded. \nDuration of funding: – \nCovered costs:  £300\,000 for a single research question and may be based at one or multiple sites and £1 million in total for studies of exceptional potential (address a range of questions around a common theme\, or undertake research using several of the Pfizer drugs\, or multi-centre phase II clinical studies) \nNationalities: Europe

SUMMARY:Epigenetic and Metabolic Regulation of Aging and Aging-Related Diseases
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Summary \nAging poses formidable scientific\, medical and societal challenges. Old age is the single most important risk factor for a constellation of diseases\, including cardiovascular disease\, cancer\, diabetes and a range of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. Aging is also one of the greatest fundamental mysteries in biology\, and arguably its next frontier. Long thought to be inexorable\, aging has in fact been shown to be malleable due to specific changes in genes or environment. This Keystone Symposia meeting will cover the most exciting questions at the forefront of the field: How can external stimuli delay aging in a long-lasting\, yet reversible\, manner? Does the integration of external stimuli to modulate aging differ among cells with vastly diverse functions – somatic maintenance\, tissue regeneration and the “immortal” germline? Is aging a synchronous process\, and how do the different cells and systems communicate? How do diseases of aging develop\, and what can be done to prevent or reverse them? To address these questions\, the symposium will gather investigators from completely different areas to bring an interdisciplinary approach to aging. The meeting will focus on the emerging nexus between two key aging regulators – epigenetic states of the genome and metabolic status – and will highlight innovative technologies and the newest discoveries in aging and diseases. This symposium will also address questions from different perspectives\, taking advantage of model organisms with drastically divergent lifespans and aging strategies. Importantly\, this meeting will particularly discuss human aging and its associated traits – frailty\, susceptibility to diseases – and potential aging therapeutics.

SUMMARY:3rd Annual Epigenetic  Inhibitor Discovery  - Targeting Histone Methyltransferases\, Demethylases and Bromodomains
DESCRIPTION:Targeting epigenetic modifiers and readers\, particularly histone methyltransferases\, demethylases and bromodomain-containing proteins have recently set the foundation for a new generation of anti-cancer drugs. Over the past few years\, several companies have developed and successfully moved novel compounds targeting EZH2\, DOT1L\, LSD1\, and a collection of BET bromodomain inhibitors into clinical studies. As these compounds continue to progress\, developers are now focused on the discovery of new targets and designing novel inhibitors to expand into this robust target space. Of particular interest for discovery are non-BET bromodomain proteins and methyl lysine readers; arginine methyltransferases; and JmjC-domain containing demethylases. \nCambridge Healthtech Institute will once again convene leaders in Epigenetic Inhibitor Discovery to bring forth novel and emerging strategies for inhibition\, new bioactive tools and inhibitors\, as well as strategies for lead optimization to obtain clinically relevant small molecules.

SUMMARY:Chromatin and Epigenetics
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Summary\n\nThe DNA of eukaryotic cells is organized into chromatin fibers\, where the nucleosome is the basic repeating unit. Chromatin is thus at the core of fundamental processes such as gene regulation\, stem cell fate determination and cancer. By and large\, these topics have traditionally been covered by separated meetings. However\, recent literature indicates that the boundaries among these various disciplines are becoming less clear. This meeting will bring together scientists studying chromatin structure\, epigenetics\, stem cell biology and cancer. The talks will cover a broad range of topics\, including chromosome organization\, long-range interactions\, chromatin assembly\, stem cell regulation/differentiation\, RNA-based mechanisms and transcription regulation. Speakers have been selected to broadly reflect lessons learned from a variety of model organisms and experimental approaches. Young scientists will be able to present their work through a large number of short talks selected from submitted abstracts as well as through poster presentation. There will also be ample time for exchanging ideas and discussing novel hypothesis at the end of each session\, as well as time for informal interactions and networking.

SUMMARY:Noncoding RNA in Health and Disease
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Summary\n\nOver the past decade\, there has been a greater understanding of genomic complexity in eukaryotes ushered in by the immense technological advances in high-throughput sequencing of DNA and its corresponding RNA transcripts. This has resulted in the realization that beyond protein-coding genes\, there are a large number of transcripts that do not encode for proteins and\, therefore\, may perform their function through RNA sequences and/or through secondary and tertiary structural determinants. This Keystone Symposia meeting is focused on the latest findings concerning different classes of noncoding RNAs that use different strategies to regulate transcription. These are exciting times for discovering the biological scope and the mechanism of action for these RNA molecules\, which have roles in dosage compensation\, imprinting\, enhancer function and transcriptional regulation\, with a consequently great impact in development and disease.

SUMMARY:Grand Challenge Awards- Challenge 7: Deliver biologically active macromolecules to and all cells in the body to effectively treat cancer
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, scientists have been experimenting with using large molecules called ‘macromolecules’ to target and destroy tumour cells. These macromolecules can disrupt the processes that cancer cells use to survive – for example by stopping them from growing or by flagging their presence to the body’s immune system. \nThis approach works very well on cancer cells in the laboratory\, but unlike conventional ‘small molecule’ treatments like aspirin\, it’s really difficult to deliver these molecules to\, and then into\, the cells where they need to act. \nIf we could work out ways of delivering these macromolecules to any and every cell in the body\, it would not only create a totally new way to treat cancer but would have a huge impact on other diseases too.

SUMMARY:Grand Challenge Awards- Challenge 6:  Develop innovative approaches to target the cancer super-controller MYC
DESCRIPTION:Myc is a gene that is mutated and persistently switched on in the majority of human cancers – it’s a hallmark of the disease in nearly seven out of ten cases. \nMutant and overactive Myc helps tumours survive\, and this strongly suggests that blocking its function would be a powerful approach to treating many types of cancer. \nOf course\, Myc isn’t the only gene mutation that’s linked to cancer\, so why is this a Grand Challenge? It’s partly because the gene makes a protein (called MYC) that is a powerful ‘super controller’–a vital hub at the centre of a vast communication network within cells\, and the properties of the MYC protein itself make it really difficult to design a drug against it. \nThat’s why we’re putting out a call to the global research community – this challenge needs more than just money\, it needs new thinking\, innovation and a wide range of expertise.

SUMMARY:Grand Challenge Awards- Challenge 5: Find a way of mapping tumours at the molecular and cellular level
DESCRIPTION:Cancer cells live in complex communities. Just like houses in a city\, each cell in a tumour is different from its neighbour\, and relies on infrastructure to support its existence. \nThere are different neighbourhoods–some worse than others. Where we have roads\, tumours contain blood vessels that deliver nutrients\, and act as highways for different cell types to move around. And when a tumour spreads\, the cancer cells themselves use these blood ‘roads’ to migrate. \nWhat we really need is a Google Earth-like view of a tumour. If we could make a 3D map\, we’d find new targets for treatment and\, eventually\, could use this view to track what’s going on in real time\, such as in response to treatment.

SUMMARY:Grand Challenge Awards- Challenge 4:  Distinguish between lethal cancers that need treating\, and non-lethal cancers that don’t
DESCRIPTION:It’s a hard concept to imagine\, but not all of the things we call ‘cancer’ need to be treated. Some ‘cancers’ are temporary changes to cells that will reverse or disappear with time\, and others are so slow-growing they’ll never cause any problems. \nFor some cancers\, over-diagnosis leads to unnecessary treatment and avoidable side effects. In others\, we desperately need to be able to detect the disease earlier – but do so in a more accurate way. \nIn lung cancer\, for example\, X-ray scans can’t distinguish between spots where there is nothing to worry about\, or the early stages of an aggressive cancer that needs prompt treatment. \nThis is a Grand Challenge that would both save lives and improve quality of life – for millions of people worldwide.

SUMMARY:Grand Challenge Awards- Challenge 3: Discover how unusual patterns of mutation are induced by different cancer-causing events
DESCRIPTION:Certain things in the world around us\, such as tobacco smoke\, cause cancer. They do this by triggering chemical changes inside cells\, leading to errors in the reading of the DNA genetic code. \nThe patterns of these DNA changes are different for each cause (or ‘carcinogen’) – almost as if they are signing their names on our genomes – and scientists can identify known carcinogens from their chemical signatures. \nBut there are unusual signatures whose origins we don’t know\, caused in ways we haven’t yet identified. And in cancers caused by factors such as obesity\, there will be many different signatures\, and we don’t yet know how to pick them apart. \nSo in the same way that a detective uses forensic evidence from a crime scene to identify a criminal\, we need to work backwards to find these cancer-causing events\, to prevent the cancers they’re causing.
