Understanding Gene Regulation Across The Life Course

The Epigenetics and Translational Omics Stage will explore how epigenetics is transforming our understanding of development, ageing, cancer and brain health. It will also discuss how molecular phenotyping and epigenomic technologies are driving the next generation of diagnostics and therapeutics
