EMBL Conference : Transcription and Chromatin

EMBL Conference : Transcription and Chromatin is organized by European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and would be held during Aug 27 - 30, 2016 at EMBL Advanced Training Centre, Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. The targeted audience for this medical meeting basically for Physicians.

This conference has played a very important role in the transcription field over the past 20 years, being both very well attended and generating highly interactive discussions.

The EMBL Transcription and Chromatin meeting has a long-standing tradition in shaping the field of transcriptional regulation. The meeting brings together leading experts covering all aspects of transcription from cis-regulatory function, long range regulation, 3-dimensional looping, the basal transcriptional machinery, RNA polymerase regulation and function, nucleosome positioning, chromatin modifications, chromatin remodelling, and epigenetic inheritance of transcriptional silencing. The meeting contains many talks selected from the abstracts that are interspersed with invited speakers, discussing the latest breakthroughs in transcriptional regulation.

Prices:
Academia: EUR 500
PhD student: EUR 450
Industry: EUR 725
Aims :
The conference is designed to promote interactive discussions at both the talks and poster sessions. Given the excellent line up of speakers and the meeting’s outstanding reputation, this is a ‘must’ attend for anyone interested in cutting edge research in transcription. Topics :
