2nd Spatial Genome Organisation Conference

The conference will bring together scientists working to better understand nuclear and genome organisation in various organisms, tissues, and cell states.
Conference sessions will cover topics related to:

●    Nuclear and subnuclear structure and function
●    Nuclear organisation and chromosome topology in gene expression
●    Nuclear organisation and chromosome topology in DNA replication and repair
●    Crosstalk between transcription and repair
●    Impact of nuclear and genome organisation on genome editing
●    Genome editing technologies in the study of nuclear and genome structure and function
●    Nuclear bodies including the nucleolus, Cajal bodies, speckles, PML bodies
●    Constitutive and induced phase separation in the nucleus
●    Topologically associated domains and transcription in genome control
●    Signalling cues, cellular states and genome organisation
●    Genome organisation in pluripotency and during differentiation
●    Nuclear and genome structures in health, cancer, aging, and age-related diseases
●    Chromatin loops and non-canonical nucleic acids structures in genome expression and stability
●    Spatial genome organisation: from the bench to the bedside

Workshops will cover: Technical advances in the study of nuclear and genome organisation; The next frontiers in spatial genome organisation and its connection to health and disease; How to publish in the era of spatial genome organisation?

Target Audience

This conference is of interest to researchers and scientists from academia and industry who are seeking to understand the basic principles of spatial genome organisation and how their disruption impacts health and disease, all within a beautiful and natural setting. Those interested in learning or developing new technologies that help reveal more of the secrets of spatial genome organisation should both benefit from and greatly enrich the conference. Attendees typically have a background in the basics of genetics, nuclear organisation, genome functions, microscopy, and sequencing.

Educational Need

This conference provides a unique opportunity for trainees interested in spatial genome organisation and the latest advances in this rapidly growing area of research from established and emerging leaders in the field. The conference also provides numerous scientific and social networking opportunities for trainees to discuss their research activities and career plans with others in the field.
