Frontiers in Epigenetics: Challenges for Chemistry, Biology and Medicine
8 May 2009
The Royal Institution of Great Britain, London, UK
A Joint Royal Society of Chemistry / Biochemical Society Workshop
Introduction
In the past few years several breakthroughs have increased interest in epigenetics; it has become clear that a good understanding of epigenetics will be essential in work related to many topics which require a thorough understanding of all aspects of genetics.
Tools and techniques used in analytical chemistry will be important for the progression of epigenetics and hence, epigenetics was chosen as the theme for the fourth workshop in the series entitled 'Analytical Tools for the Life Sciences'.
