New publication in Environmental Health Perspectives
Early mammalian germ cells are sensitive to low levels of environmental toxicants (in this case BPA). The cells may "look" normal but...

Epigenetics of environmental exposures
We are exploring the environmental influences on the germline epigenome and their effects over multiple generations. We are taking...
Environment and Reproduction
The germline is the bridge between one generation and the next. As such, the survival of sexually reproducing species is dependent on...
Chemical exposure, epigenetics, and aging
We live in a complex chemical environment where there are an estimated 350 000 chemical compounds or mixtures commercially produced. A...
Evolution of the fields of Toxicology and Epigenetics
How does a field of science evolve? What are the historical, social, ethical, and regulatory mechanisms that influence the evolution of a...
