Fourth and Last Open Call: Collaborative Project for PhDs and Postdoctoral researchers

Applications are now being accepted from NoE, RISE1 and Associate Members for Open Collaborative Calls on a Small Scale. Applicants may be PhD students or Postdocs who would like to obtain a competitive scholarship for a research idea/project of their own (funded up to 10,000€) to be carried out in collaboration with another lab.

Epigenetics explained to everyone

EpiGeneSys is not only a powerful science network for researchers, it aims too at talking about epigenetics and systems biology for a lay audience.
Recently, two members of EpiGeneSys gave insights into epigenetics on talks now available online.
In September, Léonie Ringrose visited the University of Bergen to talk about Epigenetics: myths, mysteries and molecule.
In November Geneviève Almouzni gave a speech entitled Epigenetics – Beyond the genome in Heidelberg, in the framework of the 14^th EMBO/EMBL science and society conference focused on Public and private health.
Coming soon, an interview with Leonie where she shares her secrets on how to get in touch with a large audience.
