Conference Description
The Histone and DNA Modifications 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scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages.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.
Histone, DNA, and RNA modifications are central players in the regulation of genome function. Modifications such as methylation, acylations, phosphorylation, and other modification types play major roles in the transmission of epigenetic information. They dictate chromatin structure and function and are relevant to physiology and pathology. Recent seminal discoveries have greatly expanded our understanding of the importance of histone, DNA, and RNA modifications; however, many essential questions remain unanswered. At our 2025 GRC, we will discuss key concepts and mechanisms focusing on diverse systems, approaches, and experimental innovations. This meeting will bring together scientists from multiple disciplines, including molecular biology, biochemistry, epigenetics, chemical and structural biology, and chemistry, addressing both basic and translational concepts and presenting new advances. We look forward to an exciting exchange of viewpoints, stimulating discussions of novel ideas and discoveries, and forging new collaborations.
The conference will consist of nine sessions, on the topics listed below. The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions. The preliminary program will be available by October 23, 2024. Please check back for updates.
