Epigenetics & Epigenomics Symposium

The 10th annual UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences Epigenetics & Epigenomics Symposium

May 20-21, 2025

The 10th Annual University of North Dakota & Symposium will be held May 20-21, 2025, at the Memorial Union on the campus of the University of North Dakota.

We are expecting participants from around the midwestern United States, who will share their research on epigenetic mechanisms in health and disease. Activities will include talks, poster sessions, and opportunities for informal interaction with speakers.

The symposium is sponsored by the Center for Biomedical Research Excellence (). The program was established by the National Institutes of Health to promote collaboration among researchers and strengthen research infrastructure at biomedical research institutions. The purpose of the symposium is to bring nationally and internationally recognized experts in biomedical sciences to share their work as well as to highlight the research being accomplished at the University of North Dakota.
