MELBOURNE EPIGENETICS CLUB
MELBOURNE EPIGENETICS CLUB
The Melbourne Epigenetics Club was founded in 2023 with the simple mission to bring together the chromatin and epigenetics community from across Melbourne, Australia.
Each event features two 30 minute talks from established and emerging leaders in the field and is followed by a catered networking session.
We thank our Gold Sponsor Dovetail Genomics, Silver Sponsor In Vitro Technologies, as well as the Australasian Epigenetics Alliance, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and WEHI for generously supporting this initiative.
Our next event will take place on 25th March 2025!
Melanie Eckersley-Maslin, Reza Ghamsari, Eleanor Glancy, Evan Healy, Andrew Keniry, Viacheslav Kriachkov, Annelise Quig and Gabrielle White
