European Network Conference on Chromatinopathies (EU-CHROMNet)

The European Network Conference on Chromatinopathies (EU-CHROMNet) will take place on 25–27 November 2026 at the Izmir Biomedicine and Genome Center (IBG).

The conference aims to bring together clinicians, researchers, and patient advocates from across Europe to exchange knowledge, create new collaborations and establish the first European network dedicated to chromatinopathies—a group of rare genetic disorders caused by alterations in genes that regulate chromatin structure and organization.

Organized by an international scientific committee, the conference is designed to promote collaboration and patient-centered research for chromatinopathies.

Registration and abstract submission details will be announced in July.
