Epigenetics in Sleep Conference
The study of epigenetics has changed the paradigm of research on the human genome. It is one of the
most promising and burgeoning fields in the current biomedical research landscape. Studies have shown
that epigenetic factors are responsible for controlling the expression and function of genes and have
emerged as important mediators of development and aging, neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders,
autoimmune disorders, and obesity to name a few. |
The objectives of the conference Epigenetics: Opportunities for Sleep Research include identifying research opportunities, strategies, and methodologies to further elucidate epigenetic mechanisms in sleep processes
and recruiting outstanding young investigators into this area of research. To further these ends, the organizing committee has developed a state-of-the-art program. An outstanding group of scientists and leaders in their field present at the conference.
