Protein Arginine Methylation: Function and Therapeutics

Protein arginine methyltransferases regulate transcription, splicing, RNA biology, cell differentiation, and metabolism in physiological and pathological processes. They are currently emerging as attractive therapeutic targets in many diseases.

The focus of this conference is to explore new mechanisms in protein methylation and develop effective therapeutic strategies to harness their aberrant activities in pathogenesis. The sessions will feature leaders in the transcription and epigenetics field from across the globe. In addition, panel discussions with speakers will be included to provide opportunities for early-to-mid-career faculty, graduate students and postdocs to participate.
