The Transcription, Chromatin, and Epigenetics in Aging Conference

September 11–15, 2022
Catania, Italy
#TCESRC22

Summary

September 11-15, 2022

This FASEB Science Research Conference (SRC) covers the role of new epigenetic mechanisms in the regulation of aging and in “rejuvenation” strategies for age-related diseases.

The conference fosters exciting fundamental knowledge and information, new methodology and technical capabilities, and interdisciplinary collaborations. The meeting provides a uniquely interactive, diverse, and inclusive forum for trainees and new investigators in very different areas, highlighting their research through short talks, poster teasers, and sessions, and promotes several networking and “Meet the Expert” events.

Program

The conference's main themes are: 1) Cutting-edge questions in the fields of chromatin, transcription, and epigenetics, as they apply to aging; 2) New frontiers, including the exciting emerging field of three-dimensional chromatin structure and RNA epigenomics; 3) Transformative epigenomic technologies at the single cell and single molecule levels; 4) How epigenomic modifications can be used to build “aging clocks;” 5) “Rejuvenation by epigenetic reprogramming” as a strategy to counter aging and age-related diseases.
  • Conference sessions will present the latest research and foster discussion on:
  • Epigenetic mechanisms of aging and cancer
  • Chromatin regulation in health and disease
  • Epigenetic mechanism of aging
  • Chromatin and transcription at the single cell level
  • Epigenetic clocks of aging New layers in chromatin regulation
  • Chromatin regulation of aging and senescence
  • Super resolution and 3-dimensional organization of chromatin
  • Epigenomic and epitranscriptomic mechanisms in health and disease
  • Therapeutic strategies based on chromatin changes
The conference covers nine sessions and 39 presentations. The program includes a “Path to Independence” session for attendees to interact with leaders in academia, members of the pharmaceutical industry, journal editors, and NIH program officers. Additionally, three workshops are offered to address important and timely topics: how to balance work and life, how to promote diversity and inclusion, and how to write a competitive grant application.
