Welcome

The Scottish Chromatin Group was established by Nick Gilbert (Edinburgh) and Adam West (Glasgow) in 2006 to bring together researchers from across Scotland to discuss common interests in chromatin and chromosome structure and function. Meetings are typically held twice a year in either Edinburgh, Glasgow or Dundee. Our aim is to involve and reflect the interests of researchers across Scotland.

Meetings comprise of a number of excellent seminars with plenty of time for questions and discussion followed by refreshments. A speaker from outside Scotland is invited to each meeting. We also invite junior researchers to present work that is close to publication.

Last meeting

Renato Paro, Neil Brockdorff, Bill Earnshaw, Tetsuya Muramoto, Meiji Ma.
