Epigenetics in
Marine Biology
Conference 2022

11 —14 OCTOBER 2022

Welcome to the 2nd Epigenetics in Marine Biology Conference

EPIMAR will be held in person from October 11-14, 2022, at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA. EPIMAR 2022 expands the scope of the first edition by broadly including all types of aquatic environments, and by incorporating hands-on workshops into the scientific Program.

Each session will include an invited speaker, oral communications and poster communications. In addition, a limited number of workshops will take place during the conference.

Registration open until September 10th
Accepting submissions until September 10th

Environmental Epigenetics

Environmental epigenetics investigates the cause-effect relationships between specific environmental factors and the subsequent epigenetic modifications promoting acclimatory responses in the organism.

Developmental and comparative epigenetics

The structural and functional processes involved in gametogenesis, fertilization, and the subsequent transition from a zygote into a complex, multicellular adult organism are governed by an array of shared and specific cellular processes.

Epigenetics in aquatic resources management

Application of epigenetics knowledge is now firmly established in biomedicine, particularly cancer research, but is also gaining importance in ecology, evolution and animal production.

Genetics of epigenetics

The unique feature that sets epigenetics apart from all other kinds of regulatory modifications is that the newly acquired changes can (potentially) be passed on to the subsequent generation(s).

Cutting-edge epigenetics in marine and aquatic biology

The organizing committee is led for this U.S. edition by Hollie Putnam (Univ. Rhode Island), Jose Eirin-Lopez (Florida International University), and Steven Roberts (University of Washington).
