Epigenetics for Health and Disease

On the 12th and 13th of May, the Centre for Genomic Regulation holds the final meeting of the Consolider Ingenio Project "Epigenetics". In the meeting, the nine research groups that have participated in the project over the last four years present their principal results and try to discover significant advances in the field of epigenetics and chromatin. The Marian Martínez Balbas laboratory from the IBMB-CSIC, and the Fernando Azorín laboratory from the IRB Barcelona and IBMB-CSIC –located at the Barcelona Scientific Park– have participated in this project.


The final meeting of the Consolider “Epigenetics” project, which is to be held in Barcelona on the 12th and 13th May, aims to collect the results obtained by the participating groups over the last four years, and show the scientific advisory committee and the scientific community the latest discoveries in the field of epigenetics and their implications for biomedical research. It is expected that this will lead to an open discussion about the future of the field, which will serve to lay the groundwork for new research projects. This project has been supported by the Ministry of Science and Innovation within the framework of the 2010 Consolider Ingenio aid programme.

The Consolider “Epigenetics” project has brought together the top Spanish research groups working in the field. The participating laboratories are those of Miguel Beato, Luciano Di Croce and Thomas Graf, from the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), Marian Martínez Balbas from the IBMB-CSIC, Fernando Azorín from the IRB Barcelona and IBMB-CSIC, Manel Esteller from the IDIBELL, and Miguel Angel Peinado from the IMPPC, all in Barcelona, along with Gerardo López-Rodas, from the University of Valencia, and Jose Carlos Reyes from CSIC-CABIMER in Sevilla.
