Epigenetics 2024 - New Zealand

In 2024, we hosted our first conferences outside of Australia at the University of Otago in New Zealand. Over 3.5 days the meeting covered the full range of epigenetics - providing a great opportunity to showcase or discover cutting-edge research, gain new insights, and advance our collective understanding of the field.

2024 marked the 30th anniversary of the maiden publication on the bisulfite sequencing technique by our founder, Prof Susan Clark, and 15 years since Prof Ryan Lister (organising committee member) turned this into a genome-wide technique.


Plenary speakers included:

  • Manel Esteller Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute

  • Susan Clark Garvan Institute of Medical Research

  • Hui Shen Van Andel Institute

  • Ferdinand von Meyenn ETH Zurich

  • Ryan Lister Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research
