Meeting Summary

Epigenetics, Eh! is the first Canadian conference on Epigenetics and will showcase the breadth of epigenetic research on environment and health across Canada. The objective of this conference is to provide the catalyst to build a collaborative Canadian Epigenetics Research Network (EPIGENETICS CANADA) from coast to coast, similar to existing international epigenetics initiatives in the US and Europe.

With ten platform sessions, this Conference will feature cutting-edge epigenetic research related to environment and health, presented by Canadian and International leaders in the field of epigenetics, as well as providing poster sessions and informal networking opportunities for scientists and their trainees. This Scientific Conference will bring together a significant cross-section of Canadian epigenetic researchers from diverse disciplines and provide them with the opportunity to meet, interact, collaborate and strategize at the national level.

This conference will be held at the London Convention Centre, in London Ontario.
