Join us for our first virtual Chromatin Day to learn about exciting chromatin research in Munich! more

• Chromatin Day 2020 Program

Researchers give testimonies about their research motivations and the scientific community at the LMU Life Science Campus in Großhadern/Martinsried.
See CRC 1064 project leaders Henriette Uhlenhaut, Felix Müller-Planitz and Sigurd Braun as well as associates Stefan Stricker, Julian Stingele and Nicolai Siegel. more

The meeting offered outstanding speakers and poster presentations for exchange and discussion on the dynamic organisation of chromatin structure and their function to support nuclear processes.

October 10-12, 2019, Biomedical Center Munich, Small Lecture Hall N02.040
Many thanks to all participants for their contributions in making this a successful and interesting meeting! more
