5th Annual MarketsandMarkets

Epigenetics- Digital Conference ( Time Zone - CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME (CET)

21 - 22 May 2020

In recent years, the understanding regarding the role of epigenetic factors has been improved. Epigenetic research has been generally determined by technological advancement, remarkably high-throughput sequencing technologies. In spite of the fact that technologies have been improved and have been responsible for the advances in the field, several challenges remain.

Our 5th Annual Epigenetics- Digital Conference will discuss the solutions to challenges like, drug discovery, identification of molecular inhibitors, gene modification and analysis.

The digital conference is scheduled on 21st & 22nd May 2020, which is one of the unique platform discussing about epigenetics based clinical development and combinational therapies, with a special emphasis on transcriptional analysis and molecular profiling.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Epigenetic modification
  • Genomic profiling
