Spatial Genome Organization Conference 2019

Spatial Genome Organization Conference is organized by Fusion Conferences Ltd and will be held from Feb 25 - 28, 2019 at Melia Nassau Beach All Inclusive, Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas.

Target Audience :
This conference should be of interest to individuals seeking to understand the basic principles of spatial genome organization and how the disruption of this organization impacts health and disease. Those interested in learning or developing new technologies that help reveal more of the secrets of spatial genome organization should both benefit from and greatly enrich the conference. Attendees are expected to have a background in the basics of genetics, nuclear organization, microscopy, and sequencing.

Conference Description :
The conference will bring together scientists working to better understand three-dimensional genome organization in various organisms, tissues, and cell states.

Key Sessions :
• Structure and function of subnuclear domains.
• Topogically Associated Domains (TADs) and similar domains.
• Signalling cues, cellular states and genome organization.
• DNA damage and spatial genome organization.
• Genome structure in health and disease.
• Workshop I: Genome editing and super-resolution microscopy.
• Workshop II: Chromosome conformation capture, sequencing and databases.
• Workshop III: Young scientists in the era of spatial genome organization, how to get published?

Speakers:
Andrés Aguilera (University of Seville), Tom Misteli (National Cancer Institute), Daniel Durocher (The Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute), Peter Fraser (The Babraham Institute), Wendy Bickmore (The University of Edinburgh)

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
