Prof. Padinhateeri presented advanced computational models of chromatin organization, explaining the impact of 3D genome structure on gene regulation. His talk delved into the dynamics of loop extrusion and chromatin remodeling, enhancing our understanding of how genetic mechanisms contribute to brain function.
The workshop was marked by interactive Q&A sessions and dynamic panel discussions, where participants explored the growing impact of neuroepigenetics in understanding neurological disorders, memory processes, and brain health. Researchers and students engaged in thought-provoking debates, paving the way for collaborations and new research initiatives in this rapidly evolving field.
The success of the Neurons and Epigenetics Workshop 2025 reinforces IIT Bombay’s commitment to fostering cutting-edge neuroscience research. With increasing interest in the interplay between genetics, epigenetics, and neural function, future workshops aim to expand discussions on therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases and mental health conditions.
