Inter­dis­ci­pli­nary Workshop: Adaptive Epigenomics

Build­ing a Bridge Between Animal and Human Research

The inter­dis­ci­pli­nary workshop "Adaptive Epige­nomics" took place on the 24th and 25th of July 2017 in the monastery Hegne near Constance. The event was organized by the Hector Fellows Thomas Elbert and Axel Meyer, as well as by the young scien­tists Dr. Amber Makow­icz, Daniela Conrad and Maggie Sefton, who are promoted by the Hector Fellow Academy. The workshop combined the two research fields of the organiz­ers: Clini­cal Psychol­ogy and Evolu­tion­ary Biology. In addition to lectures by inter­na­tional scien­tists on the latest research in the field of "Epige­nomics," the partic­i­pants were also offered hands-on exercises for the analy­sis of epige­netic data. The aim of the workshop was to build a bridge between human and animal research.

   

Dr. Tuncay Baubec

Intro­duc­tion: What is epige­net­ics and what can we learn from it?

The joint workshop combin­ing the fields of clini­cal psychol­ogy and evolu­tion­ary biology was held to demon­strate how epige­netic studies can be used to build a bridge between human and animal research.

Prof. Dr. Thomas Elbert
