Welcome!

The Transcription, Chromatin and Epigenetics (TranCE) Club was started in 2019 by researchers from several institutes across the Toronto University Health Network (UHN) conducting research related to transcription/chromatin/epigenetics. 

Our goal is to bring together labs with shared interests but diverse views in this area, foster interactions and new collaborations, accelerate discovery with the adoption of new technologies, and provide high quality feedback to trainees.

We have adopted a biweekly seminar format, where trainees can share their research, discuss interesting topics and overall raise the profile of our work within the UHN and externally through public scientific discourse and outreach.

In the 21st century it is the new scientific discipline of epigenetics that is unraveling so much of what we took as dogma and rebuilding it in an infinitely more varied, more complex, and even more beautiful fashion.
