Four talks by Dr Shinkai are planned:
- Monday, September 18, 2023, Epigenetics and Cell Fate Centre
“Histone modifications in genome regulation”
More information - Tuesday, October 3, 2023, seminar series by the MEG and EUR GENE
“Epigenetics in biological activities”
More information - Friday, October 20, 2023, Institut Jacques Monod
“Biology of histidine methylation”
