About the Epigenetics Session
Epigenetics is the study of how environmental factors can affect gene expression. It is the study of the changes in gene expression and phenotype that occur without changes to the underlying DNA sequence. Epigenetic changes are reversible and can be passed on to the next generation. Epigenetic changes can be caused by a range of environmental factors including diet, lifestyle, stress, toxins, and even early life experiences. Exposure to these factors can cause chemical changes to DNA that influence the activity of certain genes. This can have far-reaching consequences on a person’s health, such as increasing their risk of cancer or other diseases. Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field of research with implications for how we think about inherited diseases and other health-related traits. It has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach the prevention and treatment of many diseases. With further research, epigenetics may provide us with a better understanding of how our environment can shape our health and wellbeing.

Epigenetics Conference 2027 — FAQs
What is the Epigenetics track at GPB 2027?
The Epigenetics track is a dedicated stream within GPB 2027 covering the latest research, clinical innovation, and best practice in Epigenetics. It brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners for oral presentations, posters, and discussion.
Who should attend the Epigenetics sessions?
Plant scientists, breeders, biotechnologists, agronomists, doctoral students, and research leaders with an interest in Epigenetics are all welcome — whether presenting or attending.
Can I present my research in the Epigenetics track?
Yes. Submit an abstract for oral or poster presentation. All submissions are peer-reviewed by the scientific committee; accepted abstracts appear in the indexed proceedings.
Is virtual attendance available for Epigenetics sessions?
Yes. GPB 2027 is a hybrid conference — attend the Epigenetics track in person in Singapore or join live online, with on-demand access afterward.
