Epigenetics Club Summer Symposium 2021

Watch selected talks from the 2021 virtual Summer Symposium 

Summary

The Epigenetics Club Summer Symposium, organized by Cambridge postdocs and PhD students, provides a platform for labs doing fundamental epigenetics research to network and create collaborations between researchers in the growing epigenetics community.

Keynote speaker
