EpiHK 2019 Spring Symposium

The EpiHK 2019 Spring Symposium took place at HKUST on Febuary 20, 2019, bringing together the research community working on epigenomics for the first EpiHK research symposium. The one-day event featured a mix of talks from principal investigators and trainees from the Hong Kong Epigenomics Project, providing a wonderful outreach opportunity to researchers with related interests and those looking to engage in epigenomics work. We hosted approximately 120 attendees from different academic institutions, offering a day of scientific talks covering various topics in epigenomics research with the following speakers:

  • Epigenomics of Neuronal Diversity and Connectivity in the Brain

Keynote speaker: Prof. Joseph Ecker – Salk Institute for Biological Studies, Howard Hughes Medical Institute

  • Molecular regulation of stem cell quiescence and activation

Prof. Tom Cheung – HKUST

  • Delineating the cis-regulatory role of endogenous retroviruses in embryonic stem cells

Xuemeng Zhou – Prof. Danny Leung’s lab at HKUST

  • MyoD induced enhancer RNA interacts with hnRNPL protein via CAAA motif to activate target gene transcription during myogenic differentiation

Prof. Huating Wang – CUHK

  • Elucidation of the dysregulated noncoding genomic landscape in cancer by fast long-noncoding RNA assembly workflow

Yiyun Chen – Prof. Jiguang Wang’s lab at HKUST

  • A semi-supervised framework for heterogeneous networks reveals relationships between genome architecture and gene expression

Zhenghao Zhang – Prof. Kevin Yip’s lab at CUHK

  • Systematic analysis of differential transcription factor binding to non-coding variants in the human genome

Prof. Jian Yan – City University

  • Cell fate determining molecular switches and signaling pathway in Pax7-expressing somitic mesoderm

Prof. Angela Wu – HKUST

  • DNA crumbs in the cytoplasm – where does it come from and what does it mean

Prof. Karl Herrup – HKUST
