Cancer Conference ICC on Epigenetics in Lymphocyte Biology and Disease
Conference - Barcelona, Spain
Proper lymphocyte differentiation and function is the result of multiple cell lineage choices, cell commitment and differentiation processes within the hematopoietic system. These cellular transitions take place in a stepwise manner and are regulated at the transcriptional level. Deregulation of these particular transcriptional programs leads to the development of hematological malignancies such as leukemias and lymphomas, autoimmune diseases or immunodeficiencies. In recent years, investigators working in this field have made significant advances towards understanding the contribution of transcription factors and epigenetic control during lymphopoiesis at both physiological and pathological levels. The existence of complex relationships between transcription factors and the epigenetic machinery that are essential for the proper establishment and maintenance of lymphocytes identity has been established.
The main goal of the ICC on Epigenetics in Lymphocyte Biology and Disease is to bring together a selected group of worldwide leading researchers working on different aspects of lymphocyte biology to discuss the latest advances on this subject. We will discuss novel findings in our understanding of the epigenetic events that contribute to normal and aberrant lymphocyte function.
