Welcome

The Scottish Chromatin Group meetings have been held in Edinburgh, Glasgow or Dundee since 2006. These one day meetings bring together researchers from across Scotland to discuss common interests in chromatin and chromosome structure and function. Free webcasts of some talks are also made available to the wider research community.

Next meetings

The Tenovus 30^th Anniversary Symposium takes the place of the Glasgow Scottish Chromatin Group meeting in summer 2012. The tenth Scottish Chromatin Group meeting will take place in Edinburgh in October 2012.

Molecular Mechanisms of Disease

Wednesday 6 – Thursday 7 June 2012
Sir Charles Wilson Building, University of Glasgow, UK

To celebrate the 30th anniversary Tenovus Symposium, fourteen previous Tenovus Medal winners will join with the 2012 awardee, Professor Kevin Ryan, to present their most recent research in a symposium titled “Molecular Mechanisms of Disease”. The focus of the symposium will be the aberrations of gene structure, expression, and signal transduction that underlie cancer and other diseases and their potential for therapeutic exploitation. An outstanding programme of prestigious speakers in the fields of gene expression, chromatin structure, DNA replication and repair, signal transduction, and translational research guarantees an exciting and stimulating event.

Short talks will be selected from submitted abstracts.

The Tenovus Symposium organising committee looks forward to welcoming you in Glasgow on Wednesday 6 and Thursday 7 June 2012.
