Biological Methylation: Fundamental Mechanisms
Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB)
Dates: July 28 – August 1, 2024
Location: Porto, Portugal
Keynote Speakers: Adrian Bird and Mark Dawson
Organizers: Claire Davies, Kai Ge, Brian Strahl, Capucine Van Rechem
Held in the gorgeous city of Porto, Portugal, this conference will bring together scientists from various fields to discuss the regulation of DNA, RNA, and protein methylation. Chromatin methylation mechanisms in disease will be a central topic, as well as novel inhibitors targeting methyltransferases and demethylases. Be sure to catch the talk by EpiCypher’s Chief Scientific Officer, Michael-Christopher Keogh, who will update scientists on our latest chromatin technologies. Additional workshops will provide guidance on professional development and help facilitate connections between early-career scientists and experts. The abstract submission deadline is June 2, 2024.

Dates: June 17 – June 20, 2024
Location: Leiden, Netherlands
Keynote Speakers:
Organizers: Haico van Attikum, Gaëlle Legube, Philipp Oberdoerffer, Sophie Polo, Evi Soutoglou
Held in Leiden, the birthplace of Rembrandt, this EMBO workshop will focus on the role of chromatin structure in maintaining genomic integrity. Various topics related to chromatin signaling in DNA damage responses will be covered, such as DNA repair mechanisms, maintenance of histone modifications, and nucleosome remodeling. EpiCypher’s CSO Michael-Christopher Keogh will also speak at this conference, making it a meeting you won’t want to miss. The registration and abstract deadlines are April 1, 2024.
