Related
Watch on demand the live sessions held on April 14 & 15, 2021
Description
Chromatin mechanisms and the epigenetic phenomena are two key pillars of modern biology. Watch this two part video series where the latest advances in the chromatin field are discussed, including the basic molecular mechanisms of transcriptional regulation, the complex epigenetic pathways in the development and the reprogramming of stem cells and organoids.
