7th International Conference on Epigenetics and Bioengineering
October 3, 2024 to October 5, 2024
EpiBio explores the basics and cutting-edge technologies and applications related to the epigenome. The conference brings together interdisciplinary expertise in the field — allying biology, chemistry, physics, data processing (bioinformatics), and engineering to foster the development of novel methodologies and tools to answer biological questions in epigenetics. You’ll gain an understanding of current advances and future prospects in epigenetic engineering.
As a synthetic biologist whose training was in traditional chromatin research, I'm looking forward to the rich interdisciplinary discussions and collaborative opportunities at the EpiBio conference. This unique gathering offers a platform to explore the integration of engineering principles into chromatin research, providing fresh perspectives and innovative methodologies to tackle longstanding questions.
