Chromatin Club Bay Area – In-Person Symposium
The Chromatin Club Bay Area was founded to foster a scientific community between Stanford, Berkeley, UC San Francisco, UC Santa Cruz, UC Davis, and others. We organize monthly online seminars during which three scientists from our institutions present their work, and semi-annual in person meetings each quarter to facilitate networking between researchers.
The scientific focus of the Chromatin Club Bay Area is broad and aims at bridging basic and translational epigenetic research.
To learn about our monthly, online seminars, please visit the Chromatin Club Bay Area - Online Seminar Series webpage.
