TriRhena Gene Regulation Club
The TriRhena Gene Regulation Club is a one-day symposium that brings together researchers from France (IGBMC), Germany (MPI-IE) and Switzerland (FMI) who share a common interest in gene regulation, and gives PhD students and postdocs the opportunity to share their unpublished work with the community, thereby strengthening international collaborations.

About the event
The “Gene Regulation Club” is a one-day symposium that unites groups at three research institutions for biomedical research on a regular basis:
- Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology (IGBMC, Strasbourg, France)
- Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research (FMI, Basel, Switzerland)
- Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology & Epigenetics (MPI-IE, Freiburg, Germany)
The event has an intimate, interactive atmosphere with typically 100-120 participants from the TriRhena region. Each Gene Regulation Club will be dedicated to topics that revolve around the regulation of gene expression, such as chromatin, transcription, or RNA processing. In addition, PhD students and postdocs will present near-final but unpublished work from groups at each of the institutes. With an informal but high quality character of the meeting, we aim to stimulate discussion and inspire new collaborations within the Tri-Rhena area.
The Gene Regulation Club is the successor event for the popular TriRhena Chromatin Club.
