I will give a broad overview of the experimental and computational technologies and challenges used to map and understand epigenetic modifications, damage and structures in DNA. We are just beginning to understand how changes to the chemistry of DNA play a key role in the development of diseases (e.g. cancer), life cycle control and development of eukaryotic diseases. Using recent projects from my own collaborative research with talented\u00a0chemists and biologists I will introduce the state of the art in the areas of DNA epigenetics from a computational perspective.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"speaker\"\n    >\nSpeaker<\/h3>\n<p>Sergio is starting a research group in bioinformatics exploring fundamental mechanisms of protein degradation and DNA epigenetics at the interface between industry and academia. He builds from his early training in laboratory chemistry and biochemistry, through a PhD and postdoc appointments in bioinformatics and cheminformatics developing projects in collaboration with wet-lab colleagues sharing his time between the AstraZeneca headquarters and the University of Cambridge.\u00a0Outside research,\u00a0Sergio\u00a0teaches bioinformatics at university,\u00a0contributes as an editor of the emerging journal Frontiers in Bioinformatics and supports the growth of the European life science data infrastructure\u00a0ELIXIR.
