His interests include understanding relationships between epigenetic states and exposures in the context of disease susceptibility, occurrence, and progression. By investigating complex interactions between the environment and somatic epigenetic alterations in target tissues, as well as epigenetic susceptibility traits in surrogate tissues, he hopes to develop their potential translational utility for diagnostic, prognostic, and\/or treatment purposes.<\/p>\n<section id=\"content\">\n<div class=\"main-content-wrapper cf\">\n<div id=\"page-5463713ee4b03a44d12295e7\" class=\"sqs-layout sqs-grid-12 columns-12\">\n<div class=\"row sqs-row\">\n<div class=\"col sqs-col-12 span-12\">\n<div id=\"block-234db220d6221a944e1e\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Announcement \u2013\u00a0Brock Christensen, PhD has been awarded a new U01 grant from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR)\u00a0for his project,\u00a0\u201cValidating Immune and Epigenetic Biomarkers.\u201d\u00a0Congratulations\u00a0to Brock and the team on this outstanding achievement!
