We are delighted to invite you to to the second symposium, “Epigenetics of Early Mouse Development”, taking place on April 24, 2025, at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg.
The half-day event will gather leading scientists, researchers, and scholars from around the globe to explore and discuss the latest advancements in the field of epigenetics, focusing on early mouse and mammalian development. The symposium aims to foster discussions, collaborations, and knowledge exchange, contributing to the understanding of how epigenetic mechanisms regulate development and differentiation in mice.
