Third International Symposium on Epigenetics in Marine and Aquatic Research

Share

Join us at EPIMAR2025, a pioneering international congress dedicated to advancing the field of epigenetics in marine and aquatic systems. Held at the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM-CSIC) in Barcelona, EPIMAR2025 will bring together leading experts across developmental biology, environmental science, evolutionary ecology, toxicology, and resource management.

This congress aims to bridge fundamental research with real-world applications, exploring how epigenetic mechanisms—from DNA methylation to non-coding RNAs—shape development, environmental responses, and long-term adaptation in aquatic ecosystems.

Key Themes of EPIMAR2025

  • Epigenetics in early development and phenotypic plasticity
  • Responses to environmental stressors and pollution
  • Evolutionary dynamics and transgenerational inheritance
  • Sustainable aquaculture and aquatic resource management
  • Climate change resilience and conservation strategies

Conference Topics Include

Developmental and Comparative Epigenetics > Focused on the epigenetic regulation of ontogeny, cellular differentiation, and environmental sensitivity during early development in aquatic organisms.

Environmental Epigenetics > Exploring how environmental factors influence epigenetic modifications and how these insights can inform biomonitoring and conservation under global change.

Epigenetics in Aquatic Resource Management > Highlighting the application of epigenetic tools in aquaculture, wild stock enhancement, and sustainable exploitation of marine resources.

Epigenetics, Adaptation and Evolutionary Dynamics > Investigating the potential heritability and adaptive significance of epigenetic changes in natural marine populations.

Epigenetics, Pollution and Climate Change > Addressing how epigenetic responses to pollution, ocean acidification, and temperature rise can inform environmental health and species resilience.

Whether you're working on the frontiers of epigenetic research or applying it to solve environmental and ecological challenges, EPIMAR2025 offers a unique opportunity to connect, collaborate, and innovate.
