This course will investigate the full spectrum of genome biology, from chromatin organization and imaging to epigenetics, mobile DNA, and evolutionary dynamics. Through six focused sessions, internationally recognized experts will present their latest findings related to the identification and functional characterization of the noncoding genome and discuss novel concepts in genome regulation and evolution, with a strong emphasis on experimental and computational tools. Thematic sessions will include cutting-edge single-cell and translational approaches to unravel cellular plasticity and heterogeneity, interrogate gene regulation, and trace genome evolution in physiology and disease.
This course will offer to young students and research fellows the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and discuss their work with an international scientific community in a warm and stimulating environment at the Institut Curie in Paris.
The participants of the course will have an opportunity to:
1) Poster sessions
Participants will present and discuss their current research projects during two poster sessions (poster format A0, 84,1 x 118,9 cm).
2) Elevator pitch : 90 sec. presentation
