Chromatin conformation and its role in enhancer-promoter interactions and regulation in the cell nucleus is increasingly an important topic at our Center, with multiple groups engaged in data generation (Hi-C and other methods), bioinformatics analysis, and technology development.

At this workshop, we are planning to bring these groups together to foster collaborations between complementary groups and to encourage future joint grant applications.
