Abstract
The latest research on epigenetics in health and disease was reported at the 10th Canadian Epigenetics, Environment and Health Research Consortium (CEEHRC) annual meeting at Blue Mountain Resort in Ontario in October 2024. Canadian and international researchers from a wide range of disciplines and career stages convened to engage in interdisciplinary discussions on the latest advances in epigenomics, promoting collaboration and the exchange of knowledge in this rapidly evolving field. The meeting emphasized a comprehensive understanding of epigenetic mechanisms-such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and chromatin accessibility-that regulate key biological processes, from embryonic development to disease progression and treatment resistance. The CEEHRC Annual Meeting offered valuable insights from fundamental biology and basic science, helping to elucidate the epigenetic foundations of development and laying the groundwork for translational research aimed at combating epigenetically driven diseases.
