The Boston Society’s inaugural meeting will focus on the role of epigenetics in aging and feature guest speaker David A. Sinclair, Ph.DAO and Full Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School
SCOTTS VALLEY, California, November 10, 2021– (BUSINESS WIRE) – Dovetail Genomics, the industry leader in advanced genomic proximity ligation solutions, today announced the formation of the Boston Epigenetics Society; a society that will meet four times a year with the aim of promoting research in epigenetics and epitranscriptomics, fostering links between academics and epigenetics scientists in industry, promoting new methods and creating a system of support for research in experimental epigenetics. The Company brings together academic and industrial partners from the greater Boston area and beyond, all sharing a passion for epigenetics.
“An essential part of Dovetail’s mission is to enable cutting-edge science and research in the field of epigenetics,” said Todd Dickinson, CEO of Dovetail Genomics. “The formation of this company, as well as those to come, will help drive this mission, spark inspiring discussion and research within the epigenetic community that will inevitably lead to new and valuable information on gene regulation. “
The Boston Epigenetics Society Inaugural Meeting takes place virtually on Tuesday, November 16 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. EST, and features guest speaker David A. Sinclair, Ph.DAO, Professor of Genetics and Co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for research in the biology of aging at Harvard Medical School, which is widely known for its research on aging with an emphasis on epigenetics. Dr. Sinclair’s presentation, “Next Generation Epigenetics to Understand Why We Age,” will discuss the causes of aging organisms, the role of epigenetics in aging and how the aging process can be reprogrammed. The next speaker will be Robert Copeland, President, Chief Scientific Officer and Co-Founder of Accent Therapeutics, Inc.
“I am delighted to be part of the Boston Epigenetics Society’s initial launch, understanding how collaboration between academia and industry can lead to new research and therapies that might not have been discovered otherwise,” said Sinclair.
The Company’s list of founders, which range from leading pharmaceutical and therapeutic companies to notable academic institutions, currently includes: Accent Therapeutics, Alkermes, Astellas Pharma, AstraZeneca, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Broad Institute, Constellation Pharmaceuticals, Harvard Medical School, Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, Ring Therapeutics, Sanofi, and University of Massachusetts School of Medicine. Additional companies for large metropolitan areas with a concentration of epigenetic and epitranscriptomic innovation are currently under development.
