Cuban province to host International Convention on Epigenetics

MATANZAS, Cuba, Oct 31 (ACN) The 1st International Convention on Integrative Epigenetic Health Integrative Epigenetics University Community (SEN 2023) will be held Nov. 20-24, in this western city, in hybrid mode and with participants from Canada, Japan, Venezuela and Cuba.

The event, whose face-to-face sessions will be held at the University of Matanzas, will be part of the 4th Science for All 2023 Meeting, which this year allows for the socialization of key results in medicine, health technologies, nursing and dental care.

Arialys Hernandez Nariño, president of Science for All, told the Cuban News Agency that the Convention will address the physical biopsychosocial influence on the body, and the potential of its natural modulation for the reversion of the post-COVID-19 condition.

According to the general program of the event, topics such as the influence of integrated biopsychosocial factors on epigenetic health, and the state of microenvironmental desynchronization before, during and after the coronavirus pandemic (SARS-CoV-2, which caused COVID-19) will be discussed.

The study will also analyze the influence of biospheric factors, community health, epidemiology, and mechanisms of adaptation of the organism to changes in its environment.

Epigenetics studies changes in gene function that are hereditary and cannot be attributed to alterations in the DNA sequence.
