III Severo Ochoa Conference: Epigenetics, aging and cancer
INTRODUCTION
The conference will explore the complex interplay between epigenetic modifications, the aging process, and cancer development. Aging is associated with widespread epigenetic changes, including alterations in DNA methylation patterns, histone modifications, and chromatin structure, which can influence gene expression and contribute to cellular dysfunction. These changes not only impact normal aging but also play a crucial role in cancer initiation and progression.
Leading experts in the field will discuss recent discoveries on how epigenetic drift, loss of regulatory control, and environmental factors contribute to both aging and tumorigenesis. The conference will also highlight emerging strategies for targeting epigenetic alterations in age-related diseases and cancer, including novel therapeutics and biomarkers for early detection. By bridging the fields of aging research and cancer biology, this event aims to provide new insights into potential interventions that could improve health and cancer treatment outcomes.
We are confident that this meeting will be an excellent occasion to foster fruitful scientific interactions and discussions. We look forward to seeing you all in Gijón for the 3rd Severo Ochoa Conference!
