One of CCR's goals is the discovery and dissemination of new knowledge. To this end, CCR hosts a number of events over the year open to the entire research community: extramural, intramural, pharma and other government-run research enterprises.
Upcoming CCR events are shown below. For summaries of our past events, visit Past Events.
CCR also hosts a weekly Grand Rounds seminar series. Learn more about Grand Rounds.

The mission of the Center of Excellence in Chromosome Biology (CECB) is to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms involved in chromosome function, how aberrations in chromosomes and chromatin lead to disease and how these defects can be corrected. Towards achieving our mission, this symposium brings together internationally renowned experts in the fields of chromosome structure and function with the focus on chromatin reprogramming during development, chromatin organization and dynamics, chromatin in cancer and aging and chromatin as a therapeutic target. This meeting will foster interaction among major laboratories in the areas of chromosome biology and enhance the education and development of junior investigators and follows in NIH laboratories studying chromosome biology in various diseases.
