The Atlanta Area Chromatin Club (AACC) consists of groups of investigators from laboratories at Emory, Georgia Tech, UGA, and Kennesaw State, that share a common interest in chromatin and epigenetics research. The fundamental link among the groups is research on the role of chromatin structure in the regulation of gene expression. The experimental models utilized by the labs include, Arabidopsis, C. elegans, Drosophila, mouse, and humans.

The group includes the laboratories of:

• Jerry Boss
• Victor Corces
• Roger Deal
• Brian Dias
• Yuhong Fan
• Karmella Haynes
• Peng Jin
• David Katz
• Bill Kelly
• Scott Nowak
• Leila Rieder

The labs meet monthly in Whitehead room 400 at 5 pm, with each group hosting the meeting and presenting current research. For more information, contact David Katz (djkatz@emory.edu).
