In the first BACE event dedicated to Epigenetic Therapeutics we hosted Eric Campeau, PhD, Vice President of Translational Biology at Zenith Epigenetics Ltd. Eric helped us explore the potential and the drug development trajectory of the BET inhibitors in two indications. In his talk “Translating epigenetic-based therapies from preclinical programs into clinical trials: examples withContinue reading “BACE event on Epigenetic Therapeutics – September 2021”

At the August 2021 Chromatin Coffee we intertwined a review of news from science and industry with attendees’ commentaries and discussion. We shared thoughts and resources – please scroll down to explore the links referenced that evening. Highlights Science news Florian Wimmers, who spoke at our event on Epigenomics of Immunity in April 2020, hasContinue reading “Chromatin Coffee August 2021”

As we approached the Summer break this year, we met again in a small group to discuss epigenetic and personal news. Please stay tuned for the next events coming up after the Summer!

Our latest event on May 25th was an exciting journey into genomics and epigenomics of fertility. Besides insights into science and technology, our speakers shared their experience of starting their companies from scratch in this exciting field with such important social impact. Kristing Brogaard, COO of Inherent Biosciences, told us about the impact of maleContinue reading “BACE event on (Epi)Genomics of Fertility – May 2021”

After a long while we reconvened to grab another Saturday virtual Chromatin Coffee.

In March 2021 we had the pleasure of hosting Professor Olga Troyanskaya in a BACE Special Event. Professor Troyanskaya’s enthusiasm for genomics, epigenomics and deep learning is truly contagious, and it was not long before the BACE audience felt inspired and excited as she delivered her talk on “Deep learning models for understanding transcriptional andContinue reading “Bay Area Chromatin and Epigenomics Special Event – March 2021”

We kicked off the year 2021 with our February event on the newest epigenetic trends in the fields of liquid biopsy and cfDNA. We could not achieve that without the exceptional speakers that joined us that night, lending their long-term experience and deep expertise in bioinformatics of cfDNA analysis, fragmentomics, and beyond. First, we heardContinue reading “BACE event on Epigenomics in cfDNA and Liquid Biopsy – February 2021”

December saw our last event of year 2020 – we closed the year in a familiar atmosphere, and as usually welcomed new faces to our community as well. I gave a brief overview of what BACE did in 2020 and what may lay ahead in 2021. For the coming few months we will maintain ourContinue reading “Chromatin Coffee – December 2020”

On November 17th 2020 we held an event on Machine Learning in Epigenomics. Now you can view the talks from that night in our YouTube channel! Sofia Kyriazopoulou-Panagiotopoulou, PhD, Principal Scientist at ArsenalBio, opened the event with “An overview of Machine Learning Applications in Epigenomics”. After a brief breakout room session followed the talk ofContinue reading “BACE event on Machine Learning in Epigenomics”

In October we continued our Chromatin Coffee tradition with the first ever Chromatin Coffee to feature a Guest – Paul Giresi (CSO, Ravel Biotechnology; previously: Founder and CSO, Epinomics) joined us to share his experience in epigenomic science and industry. By: Brad Gulko, Editor: Monika Maleszewska Our Guest We first heard from Paul about hisContinue reading “Chromatin Coffee – October 2020”
