Australasian Epigenetics Alliance

We have moved! You can now find us on bluesky @aepia.bsky.social and Linkedin. Come find us there and say hi!

Poster sessions in full swing. Looking forward to a full day of Oz Single Cells 2025 tomorrow. #ozsinglecell2025 @CellularFutures

If you are at @ozsinglecells conference, say hello to your @AEpiA ECR rep @BraydonSci during the post session to hear about his exciting work in breast cancer research #AEpiA #epigenetics #singlecell #ozsinglecell2025

New postdoc opening @UNSW in RNA biology and T cell immunity 🥼🧬🧫. Use molecular biology, nanopore sequencing, and in vivo models to uncover the regulatory drivers of adaptive immunity. Apply 👉 tinyurl.com/422n7hr6

📣 ECR Travel Awards are open! ✈️ The awards are open to post-doctoral ECRs including students who are looking to travel to attend a conference or other relevant event. Apply and T&Cs can be found here: aepia.org.au/conference-tra… Applications close 13th June!

Excited to see our review on the 3D genome in the cell cycle, DNA repair and DNA replication out today! #3Dgenome #replication #DNArepair #cellcycle #epigenetics #chromatinstructure frontiersin.org/journals/cell-… Thank you to my co-authors @piptaberlay @TheCesareLab and Mathre Jones

📣 Attention ECRs! 📣 Last week AEpiA members were emailed a link for our survey on ECR (including student) initiatives. This is your chance to tell us how your ECR reps can best support you. The survey will only take ~5mins. We look forward to receiving your valuable input 🧬

Delighted to share our 'Androgen clock' paper in #PNAS ow.ly/Guts50ULghF - the first way to predict long-term androgen exposure using DNA alone. We so much more than the sequence we are born with! Stellar work (and animation - SOUND ON) by @torisugrue

AEpiA is committed to supporting ECRs, providing opportunities for growth, connection, and success. We have supported ECRs through a manuscript award, travel grants and writing workshops. Keep an eye on our website and your inbox for updates on upcoming initiatives in 2025!

Beyond the scientific sessions at #AEpiA2024, our ECRs had a great time connecting through a fun networking game of epigenetic bingo. A big congratulations to the bingo prize winners! 🎊 Marion Turpin and Sayan Sharma 🎊
