Posted in news links at 8:24 am by Trevor

GeneExpression Systems, Inc. will be hosting the 1st International Epigenomics & Sequencing Meeting on July 9-10, 2007 at The Conference Center at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. I spoke with GeneExpression Systems Founder and CEO Dr. Krishnarao Appasani, who explained that the meeting is aimed at bringing together a diverse field of epigenomics researchers from both academia and industry. Key topics of the meeting will include mechanisms of chromatin in gene regulation, ChIP on ChIP and methylation assays, epigenetic reprogramming in stem cells, epigenome sequencing, and epigenetic regulatory processes in disease and environment.

Speakers at the meeting will include Rene Cortese of Epigenomics AG, Alex Meissner of The Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, and Christopher Adams of Invitrogen’s Epigenetics Division. If you would like to have a 25-minute speaking session at the meeting, there is still time to grab a spot. Additionally, poster abstracts will be accepted until June 10, 2007.

Registration for the meeting costs US$499 for academic/government, US$399 for students, and US$999 for commercial. Nearby hotel accomodations range from US$179 to US$199 per night. Link
