Thank you @katequinlan.bsky.social for your wonderful talk!

Kate Quinlan@katequinlan.bsky.social

Thank you @aepia.bsky.social for inviting me to the #AEpiAConference2026! It was an excellent meeting - I really enjoyed the Science and connecting with colleagues. Thank you also for the opportunity to share some of our work. @henrybell.bsky.social @soniagoozee.bsky.social @unswbabs.bsky.social

Science happens in the lab, but a lot of ideas start over dinner 🍽️ Last night’s conference dinner brought delegates together to swap stories, continue discussions on the day’s talks, and connect colleagues from across Australasia. #AEpiAConference2026 #AEpiA #EpigeneticsResearch #Networking

Congratulations to Professor Chen Davidovich @davidovichlab.bsky.social, recipient of the 2026 Susan Clark Award for Research Excellence, presentated at this year's Australasian Epigenetics Alliance meeting. #Epigenetics #AEpiA #ResearchExcellence #Chromatin #AEpiAConference2026

🧬 Chen's lab tackles one of biology's enduring puzzles, how genes stay switched off over long periods and across countless rounds of cell division. The team studies how chromatin-modifying complexes, particularly Polycomb repressive complexes. Learn more here: www.davidovich-lab.com

🏆 The Susan Clark Award honours researchers across Australasia whose work, leadership and advocacy are strengthening the epigenetics community and shaping the future of the field. It is named for Professor Susan Clark, a pioneer of DNA methylation research and founder of AEpiA.

The AEpiA 2026 Conference Program is now LIVE! There's still time to register! View the program and secure your spot at 👉 2026aepia.com.au We can't wait to welcome you to Adelaide this September #AEpiA2026 #Epigenetics #Genomics #ChromatinBiology #ScienceConference #Adelaide

Meet the speakers | AEpiA 2026 We’re highlighting two AEpiA 2026 invited speakers whose research explores how transcription factors interpret the genome and shape gene regulation. #AEpiA2026 #Epigenetics #TranscriptionFactors #GeneRegulation #Chromatin #EpigeneticsResearch #AustralianResearch

Transcription factors sit at the interface between DNA sequence, chromatin state and gene expression. By understanding how they find, bind and regulate their targets, we can better understand the molecular logic that controls cell identity, development and disease.

2026aepia.com.auAEpiA 2026 ConferenceWe invite you to attend the 2026 Australasian Epigenetics Alliance Conference. This meeting will be held in Adelaide, South Australia in September 2026.

Join us at AEpiA 2026 to hear from these leaders in gene regulation and connect with the Australasian epigenetics community. Earlybird and abstract deadline is tomorrow! Register and submit an abstract here 2026aepia.com.au

Dr Ralph Grand leads a research group at the Center for Molecular Biology, Heidelberg University. His work explores how transcription factors engage DNA within the context of chromatin, and how these interactions shape gene regulation.

Professor Kate Quinlan is a Professor in the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences at UNSW Sydney. Her research focuses on mammalian gene regulation, investigating how transcription factors read both the DNA sequence and the epigenetic landscape to identify and regulate their targets.

Meet the speakers | AEpiA Conference 2026 We are delighted to highlight two outstanding invited speakers joining us at the AEpiA Conference, Professor Guohong Li and Professor Marnie Blewitt #AEpiA2026 #Epigenetics #Chromatin #GeneRegulation #EpigeneticsResearch #AustralianResearch

From the fundamental organisation of chromatin to the translation of epigenetic discoveries into new therapeutic approaches, Professors Li and Blewitt represent the breadth and impact of epigenetics research.

2026aepia.com.auAEpiA 2026 ConferenceWe invite you to attend the 2026 Australasian Epigenetics Alliance Conference. This meeting will be held in Adelaide, South Australia in September 2026.

Join us at AEpiA 2026 to hear from these leaders in the field and connect with the Australasian epigenetics community. Earlybird registration and abstract deadline is the 14th July Register at: 2026aepia.com.au

Professor Guohong Li is from the College of Life Sciences at Wuhan University. His research has made major contributions to our understanding of chromatin structure and function, including the 30-nm chromatin fibre, centromeric chromatin, epigenetic regulation and cell fate determination.

Professor Marnie Blewitt is a Lab Head at WEHI. Her work focuses on the how the mechanisms of epigenetic control can be manipulated in disease. This research has recently led to the spinout Togglelux Therapeutics, which is developing potential treatments for Prader-Willi Syndrome.
