About the Conference

This conference marks the 10th anniversary of the BCGB and aims to highlight discovery research across the broad field of genome biology.  To foster collaboration and knowledge exchange, we have invited world-leading experts from the UK, Europe, and the USA to share insights on key topics, including gene regulation and epigenetics, replication, genome stability, and DNA repair. The program also includes numerous abstract-selected talks, providing opportunities for researchers from the University of Birmingham and the wider Midlands community, including the University of Warwick and the University of Leicester, to present their work and engage in discussions.

About BCGB

The BCGB integrates and cross-fertilises the research activities of a diverse group of University of Birmingham scientists spanning primarily the College of Medicine and Health (CMH) and Life and Environmental Sciences (LES). BCGB is a virtual centre which hosts many internationally competitive research groups working on answering fundamental discovery science questions of genomic function as it relates to regulation of cellular development, differentiation and function, genome maintenance as it relates to genome stability and DNA replication and repair. We aim to understand how genomes function at a deep molecular level by bringing together experts from across our diverse communities within the University of Birmingham. Enabling leading research collaborations between specialists in Gene Regulation and Epigenetics in Development and Disease, RNA Biology, DNA Replication and Repair, Cancer Biology, Bacterial Genome Studies, Environmental Toxicology and Computational Biology.
