DESCRIPTION:Not all traits and diseases can be explained in our DNA sequen
 ce. Discoveries in the field of epigenetics – the study of heritable cha
 nges which do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence itself - offer a
 n important contribution to our understanding of human health. This free s
 eminar combines an overview of epigenetics with examples of its applicatio
 n in treating and preventing disease. \n\nSpeakers are: Dr Nessa Carey\, S
 enior Director\, Pfizer and author of “The epigenetics revolution - how 
 modern biology is rewriting our understanding \nof genetics\, disease and 
 inheritance” and Prof. Anne Ferguson-Smith\, Professor of Developmental 
 Genetics\, University of Cambridge. \n\nThe seminar is free but we do ask 
 you to register. \n\nwww.phgfoundation.org/15years\n\nThere will be tea\, 
 cake and wine afterwards - so please come along and enjoy some good discus
 sion and networking.
