💡 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬
We’re thrilled to announce Integrated Sciences has joined us as a symspoium sponsor, supporting our community in advancing epigenetics research across Australasia. We are thankful to all our event sponsors for supporting our EMCRs!

Not a member yet? Student membership is free and we have discounted rates for ECRs. Membership includes a range of benefits including eligibility for AEpiA awards. Join here: aepia.org.au/becomeamember

Don’t miss the chance to present your research and win some fantastic prizes. Submit now via 👉 aepia.org.au/emcr-symposium

Eligibility for abstract submission is 1) an EMCR or student less than 10 years post PhD (accounting for career disruptions) and 2) be an AEpiA member.

All applications were of an exceptionally high standard, a testament to the quality of research being carried out by our members.

👏 Congratulations again to our winners and to all our ECRs continuing to drive innovation in epigenetics research!

We thank AGRF for Dhanya being able to share her experience with our community. Join Dhanya and our panel of leaders at the 𝐀𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐀 𝐄𝐌𝐂𝐑 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢 𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐮𝐦, connecting EMCRs, students, and senior researchers across Australasia for a day of science, networking, and career inspiration.

Her team supports researchers across Australia and New Zealand through AGRF’s certified partnership with Dovetail Genomics (Cantata Bio, USA) and integration of @epicypher.bsky.social technologies. Dhanya’s expertise lies in 3D genome architecture, cancer epigenomics, and chromatin regulation.

Dr Dhanya Sooraj is a Senior Scientist in the Innovation and Development department at Australian Genome Research Facility @agrf.bsky.social, where she leads Advanced Genomic Services, including 3D epi/genomics, genome topology, chromatin mapping, and variant detection.
