Symposia Themes
• Epigenetic regulation of human disease
• Non-coding RNAs
• Chromatin structure
• Epigenetic regulation of development
• Epigenetic changes in response to environmental stimuli
• Epigenetic mechanisms of gene silencing
Posters
Posters are meant to complement symposia and will be arranged, as far
as is possible, according to the symposia themes.
Poster boards will accommodate A0 (850x1200mm) size displays. Posters
must fall within these measurements.
Delegates who wish to present posters should complete and submit an abstract
as per the submission guidelines.
