Call for Epigenetics Labs

Nov 14, 2006 commentary, site news

Judging from some of the e-mails that I’ve received, a portion of our readers are quite interested in epigenetics because their own research is in this exciting field. I’ve decided to start a list of research lab Web sites that focus on epigenetics research. You’ll notice that the list to the right is short at this point, with only a handful of some of the labs that are currently working in epigenetics.

It would be great to have a more comprehensive list of the epigenetics researchers out there. There would be numerous benefits to composing a list of epigenetics researchers, such as:

  • Graduate school applicants or postdoctoral researchers interested in epigenetics could have a starting point for finding a research lab that fits with their research interests;
  • Researchers would have a resource for easily connecting with peers in the epigenetics field;
  • Increased visibility and exposure for your research and, ultimately, the field of epigenetics.
If your lab is working in epigenetics and has a Web site, please drop me an e-mail: adminATepigeneticsnews.com, or leave a comment to this post.

    I’d be very interested in seeing such a list, including not only labs studying epigenetics-proper, i.e., stuff like DNA-methylation, but also labs that study epigenetics-traditional, i.e., all non-DNA-sequence inheritance mechanisms at all levels, from DNA methylation all the way up to teaching/learning/imitation.

    Manel Esteller’s group at CNIO (Spain) received a lot of attention a couple of years ago when they published that work on epigenetic differences between twins

    Hi, we have created a comprehensive list of epigenetics laboratories at http://www.epidna.com/labs.php on our newly created epigenetics portal at http://www.epidna.com If you would like to add your lab URL, you can search for your lab and enter the corrected information.
