Boston Epigenetic Society (BES)
The Boston Epigenetic Society has been founded to:
- Promote epigenetics and epitranscriptomics
- Foster research connections between academics and industry epigenetics scientists
- Help promote new methods
- Create a support system for experimental epigenetics research
The Society brings together both academic and industry partners all sharing a passion for epigenetics. Founding members represent the following institutions and companies: Accent Therapeutics, Alkermes, Astellas Pharma, AstraZeneca, Constellation Pharmaceuticals, Ring Therapeutics, Sanofi, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical School, Broad Institute, Harvard Medical School, Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, University of Massachusetts Medical School
