Information: Cancer is a disease associated with development and differentiation – therefore also with stem cells. Epigenetic regulation of transcription is believed to provide a memory system that regulates differentiation of stem cells and therefore cell fate decisions. The meeting will provide a forum for discussing the connections between epigenetic regulation of transcription, stem cell proliferation and the development of cancer.

Speakers: Ioannis Aifantis, Sung Hee Baek, Lindy Elise Barrett, Miguel Beato, Mina J Bissell, James R Downing, Kristian Helin, Konrad Hochedlinger, Catriona Jamieson, Peter Jones, Ahmad Khalil, Tony Kouzarides, Urban Lendahl, Alexander Meissner, Huck Hui Ng, Emmanuelle Passegué, Pier Giuseppe Pelicci, Bo T Porse, Henrik Semb, Henk Stunnenberg, Eric So, Wei Tong, Michael Verzi, Zena Werb
