This AACR Special Conference will integrate and highlight recent research regarding the central role of DNA methylation in human cancer. It is timed to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of a seminal AACR Special Conference on “DNA Methylation, Imprinting, and the Epigenetics of Cancer” that set the stage for many breakthroughs in this field and emphasized the role of DNA methylation in particular, rather than attempting to summarize research in the field of general chromatin biology such as histone modifications, etc.

Ample opportunities for podium presentations will be available for highly-rated abstracts submitted for the conference – including both plenary session talks and “lightning” talks before each poster session.  Make plans to join us in San Diego for this exciting AACR Special Conference.
