BACE Event on Epigenomics of Aging – further reading

Few research areas ignite our imagination as much as the research on aging. Within it, epigenomics remain central to our understanding of aging-associated processes.

On June 22nd 2020, we held an online BACE event on Epigenomics of Aging. We had three exciting talks – starting with the intricacies of the epigenetic clock demonstrated by professor Steve Horvath, through the exploration of the interdependencies between metabolism and epigenetics by Dr. Peter Tessarz, to epigenetic sex dimorphism in aging immune system presented by Dr. Berenice Benayoun.

Below you will find the details, as well as links to articles for further reading!
