Join us on Sunday, September 8th at 8:00 am for Dr. Qi Chen's keynote presentation titled "Understanding the ‘sperm RNA code’ for epigenetic inheritance with emerging tools".
Dr. Chen's work spans the fields of surgery, urology, and human genetics, and his lab is currently focused on exposure-induced phenotypes, which can be “memorized” in the sperm and inherited to the offspring, a process involving epigenetic inheritance via the sperm.
To get a sneak peek into what's in store, we invite you to explore the extended abstract of Dr. Chen's keynote address now!
