Epigenetic regulation is profoundly complex – varying across cell types, biological contexts, and time. This complexity creates a significant challenge for researchers who are aiming to generate consistent, interpretable data. Yet, it is within this variability that new diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities are emerging.
How can cutting-edge technologies help us unravel the dynamic, heterogeneous epigenome to reveal disease mechanisms, improve early diagnosis through biomarkers, and identify novel therapeutic targets?
Join us as we explore this in our upcoming free webinar series: Unlocking the Epigenome: Precision Tools for Complex Diseases, featuring 9 expert talks over three weeks designed to help you:
- Discover cutting-edge tools, such as single-cell epigenomics, long-read sequencing and multi-omics approaches, for interrogation of the epigenome at high resolution
- Overcome the challenges posed by epigenetic heterogeneity using key bioinformatic and computational tools for faster insights.
- Gain key biological insights into the epigenetic evolution of cancer, and how this variability is driving progression and resistance. Could the next therapeutic target be hidden in the epigenome?
- Leverage computational tools to help interpret the scale and complexity of epigenetic data.
- Connect with leading experts working at the forefront of epigenetics and disease research

Webinar 1: The Latest Innovations for Understanding Epigenetic Heterogeneity and Dynamics
Thursday 5th June at 3pm BST | 4pm CEST | 10am ET
Sponsored by biomodal
This webinar is designed to help you decode the dynamic and complex epigenome. Speakers will discuss the emerging technologies that capture epigenetic variation at single-cell resolution, strategies for interpreting dynamic regulatory changes, and how these insights are driving new avenues in disease research and therapeutic development.
Featured Talks:
Talk 1: Mapping the human body methylome and 3D genome, cell by cell
- Jingtian Zhou, Principal Investigator, Arc Institute
Talk 2: Using the 6-base genome to decode health and disease at the single-base resolution
- Andrada Tomoni, Product Manager, biomodal
Talk 3: Epigenetic mechanisms underlying metabolic disease

Webinar 2: Epigenetics Of Cancer: Mechanisms, Models, And Therapeutic Horizons
Thursday 12th June at 3pm BST | 4pm CEST | 10am ET
This session dives deep into the evolving understanding of how epigenetic mechanisms shape tumour development, influence therapeutic resistance, and open new doors for us to be able to diagnose, prognose, and develop novel therapies. It will focus on the complex epigenetic changes, highlighted through epitranscriptomics and non-coding RNAs, to oncogenic histone fusions that influence chromatin.
Featured Talks:
Talk 1: The role of Polycomb proteins and 3D genomic architecture in epigenetic inheritance and cancer
- Giacomo Cavalli, Principal Investigator, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique
Talk 2: Investigating the oncogenic role of histone acetyltransferase fusions in AML
- Alex Radzisheuskaya, Group Leader, The Institute of Cancer Research
Talk 3: Sub-type specific non-coding RNAs that contribute to epigenetic heterogeneity & prognosis in breast cancer
- Sankari Nagarajan, Lecturer in Chromatin Biology, Deputy Director of Manchester Breast Centre, University of Manchester
Webinar 3: Single-Cell Epigenomics: Precision Technologies for Interrogating the Epigenome of Disease
Thursday 19th June at 3pm BST | 4pm CEST | 10am ET
This webinar will dive into single cell epigenomics, and how single-cell technologies are transforming our understanding of disease at unprecedented resolution. You will learn how single-cell methods are dissecting the complex epigenetic changes in biology and explore the computational innovations that make sense of this vast data.
