Cell-to-Cell Heterogeneity in Chromatin Structure

We are organizing a mini-symposium to bring together experts in chromatin research and the development of single-cell methods. The goal is to develop new approaches to deconvolute dynamics and heterogeneity in chromatin structure in various systems.

Open to the scientific community: undergrad students, doctoral candidates, postdocs and all scientists.
