The Epigenome Across the Lifespan 2019


The second Annual Lifespan Conference, The Epigenome Across the Lifespan, was held in the spring of 2019. The conference focused on the processes, course, and impact of epigenomic pathways across the life’s course, and on fostering collaborations among partners in science.  Presentations centered upon biology and diseases including genome topology, DNA methylation and acetylation, imprinting, and many more. This conference created partnerships and fostered interdisciplinary exploration to further promote scientific understanding of the epigenome across the lifespan.
