Bio
My current focus is on the role of epigenetic changes in the link between environmental exposures in early life and later-onset chronic illness, including diabetes. Students and staff in my lab have the opportunity to use large epigenetic data sets from human birth cohort studies to discover epigenetic changes associated with specific environmental exposures. These findings inform further experiments using model systems to understand the molecular and developmental impacts of prenatal exposures, leading to a truly multi-disciplinary learning experience.
