The course is promoted by FISV – Italian Federation of Life Sciences in support of the next generation of researchers. It aims to provide an in-depth overview of the main methodologies currently used to study the epigenome.
The programme (see attached file) is specifically designed to support early-career researchers in the design and interpretation of complex epigenetic studies, encouraging informed use of advanced technologies and specialised platforms available in Italy and internationally. The course also offers direct interaction with leading national experts in the field.
