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 &#8220;focal hub\u201d for people 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<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transcription and chromatin defects and diseases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nuclear architecture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Single cell genomics<\/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,

Errors in the underlying molecular mechanisms play a major role in diseases such as cancer. Hence, insights into the molecular details are needed to advance our understanding, improve biological models, and develop novel therapeutics. Dynamic single-molecule technologies offer an exciting opportunity to meet these challenges and to study protein dynamics, function and activity in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this workshop, we present our efforts for enabling discoveries in the field of chromatin and epigenetics research. With the C-Trap\u00ae, we provide an easy-to use instrument that combines optical tweezers, fluorescence microscopy and microfluidics. It allows to visualize the interaction and activity of individual protein complexes with and on chromatin in real time, assemble chromatin structures in situ and to directly measure the mechanical forces that determine chromatin architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will cover several example studies in which our technology, biochemistry and data analysis solutions enhanced the understanding of chromatin biology, ranging from DNA damage repair to CRISPR-Cas based gene editing to nucleosome remodeling and even the mechanical properties of individual chromatin fibers to complete chromosomes.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","embl_taxonomy":[],"class_list":["post-38102","vf_event","type-vf_event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"embl_taxonomy_terms":[],"vf_event_start_date":{"value":"20230515","formatted":"15 May 2023"},"vf_event_end_date":{"value":"20230518","formatted":"18 May 2023"},"vf_event_submission_opening":{"value":"","formatted":""},"vf_event_submission_closing":{"value":"20230220","formatted":"20 Feb 2023"},"vf_event_registration_opening":{"value":"","formatted":""},"vf_event_registration_closing":{"value":"20230508","formatted":"8 May 2023"},"vf_event_summary":{"value":"Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence.
