Phase separation and spatial organization of chromatin

The organization and function of chromatin in the nucleus are complex and dynamic processes that are tightly regulated by a variety of factors, including DNA sequence, epigenetic modifications, and protein-protein interactions. Recent studies have shown that the separation phase may play a critical role in the formation of membrane-less organelles in the nucleus.

During the workshop, we will explore the current state of research on chromatin organization at different scales and discuss the molecular mechanisms underlying the chromatin separation phase, as well as the physical factors that regulate this process. We will also examine the functional consequences of chromatin phase separation, including its impact on gene expression, DNA repair, and genome stability.

This event will provide a forum for researchers from various fields to share their latest discoveries.
During the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to present their research in the form of:

• Posters + mini-talks (2-3 min to briefly present their work before the poster session)
• Short presentations for young researchers (15 min presentation + 5 min Q&A)
