Congratulations to Eric Miska
We are delighted to send our congratulations to our Non-coding RNA 2013 meeting chair, Eric Miska (The Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge) who is  the 2013 winner of the British Society for Cell Biology Hooke Medal. It is awarded each year to an outstanding UK cell biologist who has been working as an independent research scientist for less than 10 years.

To get to know Eric more please read our Abcam blog interview with him.

Description

This conference will focus on the emerging field of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. It will cover DNA methylation, chromatin and non-coding RNA pathways.

Topics:

Transgenerational epigenetics, environmental RNAi, mobile RNA, piRNA, non-coding RNA, chromatin, DNA methylation

Summary:

Epigenetic information can be maintained after cell division, can spread between cells and can even pass through the germ line from one generation to the next. This meeting will focus on our current understanding of the mechanisms of establishing, communicating and maintaining epigenetic information. We will discuss the roles of DNA methylation, chromatin marks, piRNAs, lincRNAs etc. This meeting covers yeast, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates including humans. Join us to discuss the current state of this emerging field.
