Epigenome Editing: Modifying Gene Expression Without Changing DNA

Epigenome editing is revolutionizing our understanding of gene regulation by enabling precise control over gene expression without making permanent changes to the DNA sequence. This 1-month program covers the fundamentals of epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation and histone modification, and explores how targeted epigenome editing can be used to modulate these processes. Participants will gain insights into the latest tools, such as CRISPR-based epigenetic modifiers, and their applications in research and disease treatment.
The program emphasizes real-world applications, including using epigenome editing to study gene function, treat genetic disorders, and develop new therapeutic approaches for diseases like cancer and neurological disorders.
