The meeting will focus on the following topics:
- nutrition and epigenetics;
- epigenetics and lung cancer;
- communication and epigenetic mechanisms as ignored concepts;
- chemical carcinogens as mutagens;
- epigenetics in the study of chronic diseases;
- NuGO, an EU-funded Network of Excellence.For more information, please visit:
