Genome Dynamics: Cell Identity, Regulation and Evolution

This course will investigate the full spectrum of genome biology, from chromatin organization and imaging to epigenetics, mobile DNA, and evolutionary dynamics. Through six focused sessions, internationally recognized experts will present their latest findings related to the identification and functional characterization of the noncoding genome and discuss novel concepts in genome regulation and evolution, with a strong emphasis on experimental and computational tools. Thematic sessions will include cutting-edge single-cell and translational approaches to unravel cellular plasticity and heterogeneity, interrogate gene regulation, and trace genome evolution in physiology and disease.

This course will offer to young students and research fellows the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and discuss their work with an international scientific community in a warm and stimulating environment at the Institut Curie in Paris.

Objectives

The participants of the course will have an opportunity to:

enlarge their knowledge in the field thanks to conferences animated by internationally renewed scientists;
present their own research during the Poster sessions and discuss it with colleagues;
train their communication skills in English;
establish or enlarge their professional network;
get insights into career development in academic research and beyond.

Registration deadline: December 19^th, 2025
