Chromatin and Epigenetic Regulation of Transcription
June 21 - 24, 2011
The diversity of cell function in our bodies results from precisely controlled gene regulation on a chromatin template. The 30th Penn State Summer Symposium in Molecular Biology will discuss chromatin organization and the mechanistic basis for genetic and epigenetic regulation of transcription in normal and diseased cells.
The Symposium is open to members of the academic, biomedical, and pharmaceutical communities.
