On August 25th 2020, the Bay Area Chromatin and Epigenomics (BACE) group and Illumina Accelerator hosted a joint event featuring startup companies breaking ground in the space of epigenetics and epigenomics.
We heard the stories of five innovative startups, learnt about their science, and from their entrepreneurial insights.
