Symposium: Epigenetics of early mouse development

Thursday 24 Apr 2025, 14:00 → 19:00 Europe/Berlin

Lecture Hall (Max Planck Institut of Immunobiology and Epigenetics)

Nicola Iovino (MPI of Immunobiology & Epigenetics)

The half-day event will gather leading scientists, researchers, and scholars from around the globe to explore and discuss the latest advancements in the field of epigenetics, focusing on early mouse development. The symposium aims to foster discussions, collaborations, and knowledge exchange, contributing to the understanding of how epigenetic mechanisms regulate development and differentiation in mice.
