Meetings in 2014

The EPIGEN-MiChroNetwork Chromatin Seminars will be an opportunity for informal discussions on the recent advances in epigenetics research and to promote interactions between local and foreign experts in the field. The seminars will feature two foreign experts as keynote speakers and two local speakers.
The format will be similar to that of the previous MiChroNetwork Meetings, with the possibility to submit and abstract to be considered for an oral presentation.

EPIGEN is a national project that brings together 70 italian labs who are using epigenomic approaches to address a broad
range of biologial questions.

MiChroNetwork is a local initiative that gathers the epigeneticists of the Milan area.

The EPIGEN-MiChroNetwork joint seminars are part of a larger program that the EPIGEN project will launch in 2014 consisting
of Chromatin Seminars taking place all over Italy, hosted by some of the researchers that participate in the project.
