Over the past decades, epigenetics has emerged as a key mechanism for the regulation of gene expression all along our life and it has become evident that aberrant epigenetic control contributes to disease.
The course aims to give a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental mechanisms of epigenetic control of gene expression as well as how they contribute to disease development, with a particular focus on cancer.
This 18-hours course consists of:
- formal lectures on epigenetics mechanisms in health and disease (~6h),
- seminars by guest lecturers illustrating recent developments in epigenetics linked to disease (~3h)
- student-group work to present recent research articles (~9h).
