Epigenetic Information: Mechanisms, Memory and Inheritance

The Epigenetics GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.

The field of epigenetics ranges from the phenomenological to detailed understanding of molecular mechanisms. This meeting focuses on diverse systems, approaches, and experimental innovations to discern the core principles of non-genetic mechanisms of inheritance. Topics will include the nature of epigenetic memory in the germ line and soma, across cell division, during development, in response to the environment, and in disease states. Diverse forms of epigenetic information will be considered.
