CellViewer International Symposium: Seeing and decoding nuclear function and structure

ALL_TABS

About

The Cellviewer International Symposium "Seeing and decoding nuclear function and structure", will be held on January 27-28, 2020 at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona.   

This Symposium will cover recent discoveries, aiming at dissecting chromatin structure and 3D genome organization. It will focus on the latest breakthroughs in genomic and super resolution microscopy approaches and modeling to study nuclear function. The speakers will cover a wide range of fields including Genetics, Epigenetics, Cell Biology, Biophysics and Computational Biology.

The Symposium will be an exciting, interdisciplinary and stimulating forum to discuss how current technologies shaped our way of thinking about nuclear and gene function.
