In May 2011, the Canadian Conference on Epigenetics: Epigenetics Eh! was held in London, Canada. The objectives of this conference were to showcase the breadth of epigenetic research on environment and health across Canada and to provide the catalyst to develop collaborative Canadian epigenetic research opportunities, similar to existing international epigenetic initiatives in the US and Europe. With ten platform sessions and two sessions with over 100 poster presentations, this conference featured cutting-edge epigenetic research, presented by Canadian and international principal investigators and their trainees in the field of epigenetics and chromatin dynamics. An EpigenART competition included ten artists, creating a unique opportunity for artists and scientists to interact and explore their individual interpretations of this scientific discipline. The conference provided a unique venue for a significant cross-section of Canadian epigenetic researchers from diverse disciplines to meet, interact, collaborate and strategize at the national level.
2011 年 5 月，加拿大表观遗传学会议：表观遗传学研讨会在加拿大伦敦举行。本次会议的目标是展示加拿大在环境与健康方面的表观遗传学研究的广度，并提供催化剂以开发加拿大的合作性表观遗传学研究机会，类似于美国和欧洲现有的国际表观遗传学计划。会议有十个专题会议和两个有 100 多个海报展示的会议，该会议展示了加拿大和国际表观遗传学和染色质动力学领域的首席研究员及其研究生的前沿表观遗传学研究。一个表观遗传学艺术竞赛包含了 10 位艺术家，为艺术家和科学家提供了一个独特的互动和探索他们对这一科学学科的个人理解的机会。该会议为来自不同学科的加拿大众多表观遗传学研究人员提供了一个独特的场所，使他们能够在国家层面上进行会议、互动、合作和制定策略。
