Symposium Synopsis

We are pleased to announce the 1st Southeastern Symposium on Genome Integrity and Chromatin Regulation, which will be held at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte on Monday, June 15, 2026.

This inaugural regional event builds on the success of the 2025 Carolina Symposium on Genome Integrity and Chromatin Regulation . Last year’s symposium attracted approximately 150 participants from fifteen institutions across North and South Carolina, featuring two keynote speakers, four invited speakers, seven selected abstract talks, and over 50 poster presentations.  

Building on that momentum, we are expanding the 2026 Symposium to include participants from Georgia, Virginia, and North and South Carolina. This one-day event will feature two keynote speakers and six invited distinguished experts from Southeastern institutions. Furthermore, ten oral speakers will be selected from submitted abstracts. The symposium will also include one poster session, with awards recognizing three outstanding presentations and two honorable mentions. We anticipate hosting approximately 150–200 participants.  

This symposium is designed to foster scientific exchange, collaboration, and networking among researchers at all career stages. It provides a vital platform for trainees to present their work, engage with leading experts, and access valuable learning opportunities. We invite you to join us for this exciting and enriching event!
