At least three systems, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs (ncRNA), are considered to play fundamental roles in epigenetic regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research over the last two decades has uncovered the role of epigenetics in a variety of human disorders and fatal diseases. Moreover, influence of age, environment, lifestyle, and disease state on epigenetic states is being increasingly appreciated and actively studied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This conference provides an international forum for cutting-edge research in chromatin and epigenetics. It provides the &#8216;focal hub&#8217; for scientists to present their research and exchange ideas. Renowned speakers will cover the latest advances in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Heterochromatin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Developmental epigenetics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chromatin regulation and disease<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nucleosomes structure and function<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transcription and chromatin <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nuclear architecture <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chromatin and RNA modifications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Single cell genomics and advanced microscopy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Impact of age, environment, and lifestyle on epigenetic state<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What past participants say about the conference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;The conference was very thoughtfully organised, and the subject matter allowed me to deepen my knowledge on many interesting levels. It was a valuable experience that I would like to repeat in the future.&#8221; <\/em> \u2013 Magdalena, University of Lodz, Poland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;The training provided by EMBL was very fruitful and productive. I would like to be a part of such training in future too and also like to recommend others to be part of it.&#8221; <\/em> \u2013 Dr. Laxman Khanal, BPKIHS, Nepal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Although online, this conference was well-organised with an overall great quality of talks about many novelties. If I can, I will definitely attend the next time, maybe already on-site!&#8221; <\/em> \u2013 Tobias Hohl, Max-Planck-Institute of Immunology and Epigenetics,
