[BBC] Announcement: Conference Systems Epigenetics - Towards Precision Cancer Medicine, Amsterdam, 27-30 Nov 2018

[Moerland, P.D. (Perry)]

Dear colleagues,

I would like to invite you to submit an abstract and register for the upcoming conference on Systems Epigenetics - Towards Precision Cancer Medicine in Amsterdam, 27-30 November 2018. Abstracts on novel methods and applications of computational approaches to the analysis of epigenomics data are especially welcomed.

Systems Epigenetics - Towards Precision Cancer Medicine

·         Date: 27-30 November, 2018

·         Location: Amsterdam, the Netherlands

·         Website: http://www.SystemsEpigenetics2018.eu

·         Registration: http://systemsepigenetics2018.eu/registration (early bird till September 23)

·         Call for abstracts (short talks/posters): http://www.systemsepigenetics2018.eu/call-for-abstracts (deadline October 14)

We will discuss various aspects of epigenetic regulation (e.g. higher order chromatin folding, chromatin enhancer regulation, dynamics of chromatin and nuclear organization and epigenomics) in the context of cancer initiation, progression and treatment. The latest scientific developments to studying epigenetic regulation will be presented by keynote and invited speakers setting ground for precision medicine in cancer treatment. This conference brings together scientists from multidisciplinary fields employing different research strategies providing a platform for scientists focusing on fundamental and biomedical research, clinicians and private sector scientists. We aim to create a vibrant environment to promote cross-talk between different disciplines.
