3D Nucleome Workshop

Aug 7, 2019, 1:30 AM → Aug 8, 2019, 6:00 PM America/New_York

3rd Floor Classroom (Flatiron Institute)

Mike Shelley, Olga Troyanskaya

The Center for Computational Biology at the Flatiron Institute in New York City will hold a two-day workshop, "The 3D Nucleome", intended to bring together researchers working in sometimes separated domains of study of the nucleus.

These domains include biophysics, computational biology, mathematical modeling, epigenomics, genetics, and molecular biology. We are hoping for an intimate environment that encourages the free exchange of ideas and discussions of ongoing work.
