Welcome to the Penn Epigenetics Institute The Epigenetics Institute encourages collaborations between basic and clinical research in epigenetics.
The goal of the UPenn Epigenetics Institute is to advance basic and applied research in chromatin biology and epigenetics, building on current interest both in mechanisms underlying epigenetic regulation, and in unraveling genome-wide chromatin patterns, commonly known as epigenomes. While genetic approaches to altering cell and tissue function involve direct perturbation of the genome, epigenetic

Wishing you a happy holiday season and a restful break! If you want to learn more about the image that made up our snowman, courtesy of the Joyce lab, it’s featured on the homepage of our newly revamped website (link in our bio) ⛄️

Happy December! We were able to get some socially distanced time with one of our newest faculty members, Colin Conine. You can check out our Twitter for a link to the video, but take a scroll through these photos to get to know the lab a little. The Conine lab studies epigenetic inheritance with a focus on RNA in the s***m - you can see some awesome microscopy, RNA isolation, and intracytoplasmic s***m injections. If you’re interested in joining the lab, drop us (or Colin) a line!
