The aim of this course is to provide an overview of epigenetic mechanisms and their links to gene expression and chromatin dynamics, in different systems. The diverse functions of the nucleus involving the genome and its organization will be discussed with an emphasis on technological limits and the new experimental approaches being developed today. Links between the disruption of nuclear functions and the development of human pathologies will be discussed. This year emphasis will be on the physiological and pathological aspects of epigenetics in relation with metabolism and maintenance of cell identity.
The success of the course relies on the contributions of participants who are expected to be proactive and to participate in all of the events organized, including Poster sessions, Journal Club, and the different workshops (see personal Work & program for more information).
A special session will be devoted to 1-2 course alumni who have developed successful careers in the field of Epigenetics.
The main themes that will be treated are:
6 ECTS accredited by Sorbonne Université – Master BMC (UE MU5BM460)
Certificate of Participation
Evaluation will be based on performance during the Journal Club, poster presentation and active participation during the Course.
