While the human genome continues to intrigue researchers with the complexities embedded in the entirety of its DNA sequence, what’s on DNA and how it's packaged are increasingly important for understanding disease, including cancer. This second webinar in The Scientist's Decoding DNA series will cover the Secrets of the Epigenome, discussing what is currently known about DNA methylation, histone modifications, and chromatin remodeling and how this knowledge can translate to useful therapies. Following brief presentations by our panel of experts, there will be a live Q&A session during which attendees can ask questions and discuss issues related to the burgeoning field of epigenetics.

 

Attendees will hear about:

• The evolution of epigenetics and the promises it holds

• Impact of epigenetics on cell biology

• Epigenomic techniques for probing the epigenome

• Epigenome-targeted therapies

 

Panelists:

Stephen Baylin, M.D., Professor, Oncology and Deputy Director of the Cancer Center, Johns Hopkins University

 

Victoria Richon, Ph.D., Vice President, Discovery and Preclinical Research Oncology, Sanofi

 

Paolo Sassone-Corsi, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Biological Chemistry and Director, Center for Epigenetics and Metabolism, School of Medicine, University of California, Irvine
