to train participants in the fundamental aspects of epigenetic mechanisms and their dysregulation in human diseases, with a focus on recent genome-wide technological advances and clinical applications in diagnostics and epigenome therapeutics.

This includes:

• Understanding basic concepts and mechanisms of epigenetics (e.g., DNA methylation, histone modifications, non-coding RNA).
• Exploring the role of epigenetic changes in cancer, rare diseases, and complex multifactorial conditions.
• Gaining hands-on experience through workshops in computational analysis, CRISPR editing, and AI-driven phenotyping.
• Discussing the use of epigenetics as preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic tools in modern medicine.

The course blends lectures, clinical case discussions, and workshops to support translational understanding and practice in epigenetics.
