Epigenetics in the Nervous System

​​

​October 14, 2020 
​

Topics​

  • Neural development
  • Neurodegeneration
  • Epigenomics
  • Chromatin architecture
    ​

​Description

The key role of the epigenome in neural cell function and in neurological diseases has become clear in recent years. This meeting will gather experts with key findings in the field of neuroepigenetics to 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.
