General information
Genomic Regulation 2020: Focus on Cancer is intended to provide a forum to discuss recent advances in the field of regulation of transcription in cancer. We will gather scientists working in both bioinformatics and experimental biology, addressing diverse aspects of transcriptional regulation in cancer cells. This symposium will allow for fruitful scientific discussions and exchange of ideas. Sharing recent discoveries among high profile scientists will advance our understanding of the mechanisms of gene expression regulation, convey new concepts and result in novel international collaborations.
