Epigenetics and Bioengineering Conference

表观遗传学和生物工程会议（EpiBio 2018）由美国化学工程师学会主办，将于2018年10月4日至6日在Mission Bay会议中心（San Francisco， CA）举行。这次会议将汇集生物学家、化学家和工程师，讨论他们的学科如何合作，找到限制表观遗传模型和治疗发展的问题的新解决方案。会议将整合工程科学与生命科学，鼓励多学科领域的研究和发展，教育下一代年轻科学家，并支持前沿科学来应对当前和未来的挑战。主题将集中于探索与表观遗传学相关的现象，以及这些知识在设计新治疗方法和计算和模拟表观遗传改变方面的应用。会议将有七个主题，以单轨形式提出。传感表观遗传修饰将集中在传感表观遗传修饰在各种生物体。撰写表观遗传修饰：本课程的重点是了解如何为改变的基因表达撰写表观遗传修饰。核组织：本次会议将重点讨论癌细胞和正常细胞核组织的最新进展。表观遗传诊断和治疗：本课程着重于使用表观遗传修饰的知识和数据库来更安全有效地诊断和治疗疾病。单细胞表观遗传学：本次会议将重点分享这一新兴领域的进展。表转录组：本次会议将讨论表转录组的新发现。表观遗传学中的计算和建模：本课程将讨论表观遗传学中建模和计算的最新进展。同行评议的会议记录将在AIChE网站上公布。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Epigenetics and Bioengineering Conference (EpiBio 2018) is sponsored by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and will be held at The Mission Bay Conference Center (San Francisco, CA) on October 4-6, 2018. This conference will bring together biologists, chemists, and engineers to discuss ways in which their disciplines can collaborate to find novel solutions to problems that are limiting the development of epigenetic modeling and therapies. The meeting will integrate the engineering sciences with the life sciences, encourage research and development in multidisciplinary areas, educate the next generation of young scientists, and support cutting edge science to answer current and future challenges. Topics will focus on exploring the phenomena associated with epigenetics as well as the application of this knowledge in designing new treatments and computing and modeling epigenetic alterations. There will be seven conference topics, presented in a single-track format. Sensing Epigenetic Modifications will focus on sensing epigenetic modifications in various organisms. Writing Epigenetic Modifications: This session is focused on understanding how to write epigenetic modifications for altered gene expression. Nuclear Organization: This session will focus on discussing the recent advances in understanding nuclear organization in cancer cells as well as normal cells. Epigenetic Diagnostics and Therapeutics: This session focuses on using the knowledge and database of epigenetic modifications to diagnose and treat diseases more safely and effectively. Single Cell Epigenetics: This session will focus on sharing the developments made in this emerging field. The Epitranscriptome: This session will address new findings uncovered about the epitransciptome. Computation and Modelling in Epigenetics: This session will address recent advances made in modelling and computation in epigenetics. The peer-reviewed conference proceedings will be published on the AIChE website.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
