Short presentation
The general research interest within my group is to investigate how environmental exposures of a variety of sources (nutrition, contaminants, stress) interfere with developmental and epigenetic mechanisms and can consequently be involved in phenotypic and epigenetic variation later in life. Additionally, the ability of germline epigenetic modifications to be transmitted transgenerationally and influence genetic variability in subsequent generations.
