Five Epigenetics Conferences for Summer and Fall 2023


The field of epigenetics is rapidly changing and expanding world-wide. Conferences are an excellent way to connect with experts and learn about the latest developments in the field. Here are five epigenetics and chromatin biology meetings we are looking forward to attending in the remaining months of 2023.

    We can’t wait to escape the frigid December days to spend some time in sunny San Diego at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting & Exposition. This conference is the world’s most comprehensive hematology event of 2023 and features a wide range of topics. This year, we are looking forward to their session on spatial genomic & epigenomic profiling in hematology and neutrophil extraceullular traps (NETs) in thrombosis . Learn more about NETs and their connection to chromatin biology in this blog post.
