Epigenesys European network of excellence: November 2012

 

 

 

Colin Semple and Richard Meehan have been elected to a network of excellence for research in epigenetics. The FP7 European Community-funded Epigenesys Network of Excellence (www.epigenesys.eu) is an ambitious initiative to create new collaborations and accelerate research in this exciting field. The goals of Epigenesys are to encourage collaboration and understanding between the fields of epigenetics and computational systems biology, and also to communicate the science to the wider public. Member labs can participate in a variety of training programs, collaborative workshops, symposia, and exchange of personnel between labs.
