Epigenetics in the Nervous System

​​View the Epigenetics in the Nervous System talk session on demand.    

​
​Summary

The key role of the epigenome in neural cell function and neurological diseases has become clear in recent years. In this session, we will discuss the latest developments on histone modifications, chromatin architecture, and epigenomics, among others, in the context of neural development and diseases of the central nervous system.


​​​Webinar objectives

  • Discover the role of the epigenome in neural cell function, in development and disease
  • Identify the latest technologies in neuroepigenomics research
  • Transfer and apply new knowledge on neuroepigenomics to own research
This online event highlights four topics out of the broad scope of
