Several media, including La Vanguardia, have devoted an article to the fifth edition of the Barcelona Conference on Epigenetics and Cancer (BCEC), which will take place at the CosmoCaixa in Barcelona on 25 and 26 October. Those responsible for B·Debate, an initiative of Biocat and the "la Caixa" Obra Social, have brought together researchers from all over the world for this event. IRB Barcelona is among the driving forces of the BCEC.
