ChicagoLand Chromatin Club
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the ChicagoLand Chromatin Club (CCC) — a new regional forum uniting scientists from six leading institutions: Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), Loyola University Chicago and Rosalind Franklin University.
Our mission is to foster collaboration, share cutting-edge chromatin research and build a vibrant scientific community dedicated to understanding chromatin biology and its impact on gene regulation, development and disease.
Join Our Community

We invite principal investigators and trainees alike to become part of our community!
Join the ChicagoLand Chromatin Club and receive updates about upcoming events, even if you’re unable to attend the first in-person meeting.
We also encourage you to share this opportunity with your trainees and lab members so they can take part in this collaborative regional effort.
