Our lab investigates environmental epigenetics and gene-environment interactions using animal models, human clinical samples, and human population studies. Specifically, research focuses on nutrition and environmental chemicals and how many common compounds, such as Bisphenol A (BPA), may have deleterious physiological consequences through abnormal epigenetic and genetic regulation. Techniques include mouse necropsy and subsequent DNA/RNA isolations, PCR, bisulfite conversions, and gel electrophoresis and imaging.
