An exciting program has been put together with high-profile speakers including Prof. Wendy Bickmore, director of the MRC Human Genetics Unit at the University of Edinburgh, delivering a special EMBO Keynote lecture, Prof. Angelo Lombardo, Professor of Tissue Biology and Regenerative Medicine and co-founder of Chroma Medicine INC, discussing epigenetic editing therapeutics and Prof. Lei Stanley Qi, Professor of Bioengineering at Stanford University, one of the inventors of the nuclease-dead dCas system for CRISPR interference screening.

To foster interaction and participation, the conference includes a panel discussion on advances and gaps in epigenetics, with PhD students contributing to a white paper, a ‘Lunch with a Legend’ session, for PhD students to network with professionals, and a facilitated discussion on responsible innovation in epigenetic engineering. Sponsored support will help organize this timely event.

Prof. dr. Pernette Verschure will serve as one of the conference chairs for the 7th International Conference on Epigenetics and Bioengineering.
