‘Development of Epigenetic Biomarkers for Disease Susceptibility and Preventative Medicine’ – TMP Seminar Sept. 5

Michael K. Skinner, PhD, Eastlick Distinguished Professor, Founding Director of the Center for Reproductive Biology, School of Biological Sciences, Washington State University — will be visiting WSU Spokane for the Department of Translational Medicine & Physiology Seminar Series. His seminar entitled “Development of Epigenetic Biomarkers for Disease Susceptibility and Preventative Medicine” will be in person in the Center for Clinical Research and Simulation room 250 and through Zoom on Tuesday, Sept. 5, noon–1 p.m.

Environmental epigenetics is essential for the control of genetics and gene expression, as well as what you inherited from your ancestors. Therefore alterations in normal epigenetic programming now appears to be one of the main factors in biology, evolution and disease etiology. We have developed epigenetic biomarkers for many diseases, including male infertility, preterm birth, preeclampsia, arthritis and autism. These disease specific epigenetic biomarkers can now be used in preventative medicine for these pathologies.

We look forward to you joining us in person (SCCRS 250) or through Zoom!
