Programme

This conference provides a gathering opportunity for researchers of all levels who are interested in how gene regulation participates in the development and function of the brain, with particular attention to the chromatin-based regulation of gene expression. 

Session Topics:

• Chromatin regulation during neurodevelopment
• Epigenetics of cell identity in the brain
• Transcriptional regulation of neuronal activity and plasticity
• Gene regulation and behaviour
• Epigenetic engineering and epigenomic mapping
• Chromatin in brain disease
