Retrotransposons as regulators of the epigenome and transcriptome
Explore advances in retrotransposon research and connect with scientists worldwide to drive innovation in gene regulation and epigenetics.
This course aims to foster intellectual exchange on the latest advances in retrotransposon-mediated gene regulation and epigenetic control, with a particular emphasis on development and disease. We strive to cultivate collaborations between local and international scientists from diverse disciplines who share a common interest in retrotransposon research.
