Barcelona BioMed Conference
Multidimensional Genomics:
The 3D/4D organization of chromatin
13-15 November, 2017

Dear colleagues,

We have extended the registration deadline for the next Barcelona BioMed Conference, dedicated to "Multidimensional Genomics: The 3D/4D organization of chromatin". The new deadline is Thursday 5 October. You can register for this event here.

Presentation

Genomics is moving for a static monodimensional picture, to a time dependent 3D structure. Chromatin is not any more a magic word used to represent a portion of the cell absorbing more colorant than the rest. Chromatin is now a plastic supramolecular structure composed of DNA and protein whose conformation regulates accessibility of the genes to the protein machinery that regulate their function. Nothing of the activity of the cell can be understood without considering the time-dependent three dimensional structure of chromatin.

The BioMed conference will be a forum to meet many of the most distinguished scientists in the field. We will learn from the basic physical principles governing the deformation of DNA to the last advances in the experimental techniques providing information on chromatin structure, from the nucleosome to the entire chromatin fiber. We will learn from how chromatin structure is regulated by specific cellular system, and how in turn, chromatin structure modulates the entire cellular live. I invite you to meet us in Barcelona and know more about these supramolecular structure.

Dates

13-15 November 2017
