Middle East and South Asia Conference on Epigenetics and Genomics of Infectious Diseases
Overview
In 2016, the Royal Scientific Society of Jordan and Gryphon Scientific jointly organized a regional conference on epigenetics and genomics of infectious diseases in cooperation with the DTRA Cooperative Biological Engagement Program and Metabiota. This conference provided scientists throughout the region with opportunities to discuss regional and international studies involving genomic and/or epigenetic effects on host-pathogen interactions, and to explore associated laboratory biosecurity and biosafety considerations. In addition, the conference allowed attendees to interact with each other, fostering new scientific partnerships.
