Centre for Epigenetics

About Us

We are a cross-faculty Centre with labs in the three major QMUL campuses, reflecting our interdisciplinary nature. We encompass groups hosted at the Barts Cancer Institute and the William Harvey Institute at Charterhouse Square, the Blizard Institute at Whitechapel, and the G.E. Fogg Building, part of the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences at Mile End. We hold regular joint lab meetings, fostering a highly stimulating and collaborative environment.
