The Collaborative Research Centre 992 “Medical Epigenetics” is a research consortium in Freiburg, Germany, that conducts epigenetic research with a translational focus. Teams from the University and the University Medical Center, as well as from the Max-Planck-Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics are collaborating in projects ranging from basic research to clinical evaluation of novel therapeutic […]
Epigenetics refers to dynamic changes that occur at the DNA, RNA and protein level in eukaryotes. Epigenetics is at the heart of gene regulation and determines which genes are activated or silenced. It is of great importance fundamentally and has many exciting translational aspects including therapeutics, diagnostics, stem cell research, microbial pathway engineering and agriculture.
