The combination of experimental epigenetics with theoretical biology is immensely powerful but surprisingly rare. The IRI Summer School “Epigenetics meets mathematics“ aims to inspire experimentalists and theoreticians in epigenetics research each to engage with the other discipline.

 

The programme offers PhD students and Postdocs, who work experimentally or theoretically in epigenetics research, a comprehensive overview of current research combining theoretical biology and experimental epigenetics in lectures and workshops held by internationally renowned experts.

 

Invited speakers include:

 

Luca Giorgetti (Basel)

Hanspeter Herzel (Berlin)

Martin Howard (Norwich)

Edda Klipp (Berlin)

Davide Mazza (Milan)

Nacho Molina (Illkirch)

Mario Nicodemi (Naples)

Ana Pombo (Berlin)

Marc Rehmsmeier (Berlin)

Leonie Ringrose (Berlin)

Kim Sneppen (Copenhagen)

 

Several of the speakers contributed to the recently published text book „Epigenetics and Systems Biology“ (Academic Press, www.elsevier.com/books/epigenetics-and-systems-biology/ringrose/978-0-12-803075-2).
