SUMMARY:2026 VAI Epigenetics Symposium
DESCRIPTION:2026 VAI Epigenetics Symposium will highlight cutting-edge topics at the intersection of epigenetics\, variation plasticity and inheritance. Our distinguished lineup of speakers will explore topics including:  \n\nPre- and post-conception phenotypic plasticity\nIntergenerational epigenetic inheritance \nDevelopmental programming and multi-stability\nEvolutionary impacts of plasticity systems\nHuman epigenetic variation and disease\n\nKeynote Speakers\nThe VAI Epigenetics Symposium will feature keynote lectures from two esteemed leaders in epigenetics. \n\nMary Gehring\, Ph.D. \nMary Gehring\, Ph.D.\nDavid Baltimore Chair in Biomedical Research\, Whitehead Institute\nProfessor of Biology and Biological Engineering\, MIT \nKeynote title: Mechanisms promoting epigenetic homeostasis in plants \n\nEric Miska\, Ph.D. \nEric Miska\, Ph.D.\nHead of Department\, Herchel Smith Professor of Genetics\, Department of Biochemistry\, University of Cambridge
