Spetses Summer School: Chromatin & Systems Biology

Our Summer School on Chromatin and Systems Biology was held this September on Spetses Island, Greece.

The school brought together young researchers from both fields, for a unique educational and networking opportunity. As our instructors were experienced researchers, participants received expert advice on their research project, had the opportunity to develop their career, and established new contacts and collaborations.
