Conference overview
The EMBL Transcription and Chromatin meeting has a long-standing tradition in shaping the field of transcriptional regulation. The meeting brings together leading experts covering all aspects of transcription including cis-regulatory function, long range regulation, 3-dimensional looping, the basal transcriptional machinery, RNA polymerase regulation and function, nucleosome positioning, chromatin modifications, chromatin remodelling, and epigenetic inheritance of transcriptional silencing. The meeting contains many talks selected from the abstracts that are interspersed with invited speakers, discussing the latest breakthroughs in transcriptional regulation.
The conference is designed to promote interactive discussions at both the talks and poster sessions. Given the excellent lineup of speakers and the meeting’s outstanding reputation, this is a must-attend for anyone interested in cutting-edge research in transcription.
What past participants say about the conference
“I would say that I am privileged to have been in the most prestigious institute on the planet. It was my dream come true moment during the conference. I sincerely thank EMBL for providing me conference registration grant otherwise it would never have been possible for me to reach EMBL. I would urge every life sciences student to be at EMBL at least once, it will be a lifetime experience for sure as it was for me.” – Haneul Yoo, Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics, Germany
“I am new to the field and attended the EMBL conference to meet people and learn about the field. I learned a ton during the four days at the ATC and I also made new friends and contacts who I look forward to meeting again in future conferences.” – Marion Turpin, Institute Genetics & Development of Rennes, France
“A pleasure to attend my first EMBL Transcription and Chromatin conference! Also very happy of having the opportunity to share my team’s work, networking and learning from incredible researchers in the field!” Elena Gómez Marín, Andalusian Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine Centre, Spain
