Program

From the isolation of steroid hormones decades ago, to the profiling of global interactions of nuclear receptors using next generation technologies, nuclear receptor mediated response has served as a critical focus that has greatly advanced understanding of molecular events underlying biological processes. Many of the critical advances have been within NIH intramural laboratories. This symposium will highlight recent research that has revealed interactions between chromatin and nuclear receptors at a molecular level in cells and tissues, which promises to pave the way to future advances in our understanding of these essential processes and dysfunctions leading to disease.
