Our topic this year is Chromatin and Nuclear Architecture and Precision Medicine, and our objective is to provide an up-to-date perspective on the relationship between DNA sequence and genome organization in space and time during normal cellular function and in diseased states. We provide examples of the dynamic regulation of genome folding interrogated by state of the art genomic and imaging technologies, and we explore the role of genome polymorphisms in chromatin organization and function. We have been fortunate to assemble and extraordinary group of pioneers in the development and application of technologies that probe and manipulate genome organization, revealing a previously unappreciated role of 3D genome structure dysregulation in human disease.
This event will take place in-person at the Roy and Diana Vagelos Education Center, 2nd floor Auditorium, 104 Haven Avenue, New York, NY 10032, on the Medical campus.
