Upcoming HeLTI ECR Seminar 

 

When: Tuesday January 21 at 8:00 EST (13:00 GMT; 15:00 SAST; 18:30 IST; 21:00 CST)

Presenters: Dr. Miguel Ramalho-Santos and Sarah McClymont

Topic: Environmental-epigenome interactions during embryonic development

Brief Description: Epidemiological data and rodent models indicate that environmental perturbations (diet, stress, toxins, etc.) during pregnancy can lead to long-term adverse health consequences. However, it remains unknown what are the underlying molecular and developmental mechanisms. Our lab is investigating these mechanisms in several models. We will discuss our recent findings, notably on a mouse model of anxiety during pregnancy.
