The symposium aims to bring together students and postdocs with an interest in epigenetics research. We are thrilled to announce that we have two distinguished keynote speakers who will be presenting on their cutting-edge research in the field of epigenetics. Prof. Adrian Bracken (Smurfit Institute of Genetics, Trinity College Dublin) will discuss the molecular processes through which Polycomb group proteins influence cell fate decisions and cancer, and Dr. Suyang Zhang (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge Biomedical Campus) will present her research on structural aspects of Pol II transcription and splicing. We will also be selecting 6 speakers for short talks from the submitted abstracts.
