About the Symposium
Join us for the 7th Biennial Miami Epigenetics and Cancer Symposium, hosted by Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami. This year’s symposium features an outstanding lineup of nationally and internationally renowned speakers, bringing together leading scientists, investigators, and clinicians to share the latest discoveries and advances in cancer epigenetics.
This year’s program will explore how the molecular mechanisms that regulate gene expression shape cancer biology and create new opportunities for treatment. Sessions will span histone and RNA chemistry, transcription and chromatin structure, metabolism, aging, cancer-associated signaling, and emerging therapeutic targets. The meeting will also provide a forum for investigators and trainees to exchange ideas, discuss emerging work, and identify opportunities for new collaborations.
Join us in Miami to hear from leaders in the field, discover emerging directions in cancer epigenetics, exchange ideas, build new collaborations, and explore how advances in gene regulation are shaping the future of cancer research and treatment.
