The Cambridge Epigenetics Club talks are organised by Rosana Collepardo Guevara, Ian Henderson, Iva Tchasovnikarova and Peter Rugg-Gunn, and are sponsored by biomodal.
The Cambridge Epigenetics Club has been running since 2010. Its role is to bring students, postdocs and group leaders from the Cambridge epigenetics/chromatin community together to hear the latest advances in the field and provide an opportunity to get together for informal discussions.
Follow us on Twitter @EpigeneticsClub.
Upcoming events
The talks are held in the Biffen Lecture Theatre at the Department of Genetics.
Doors open at 5pm, with talks from 5.30pm until 7pm, followed by a networking reception with refreshments from 7pm until 8pm.
