Drs. Romano & Karagas Featured in Letter
Research led by Center Investigator Megan Romano and co-authored by Center Director Margaret Karagas was featured in the Association of Schools & Programs of Public Health’s Friday Letter. Dr. Romano and her co-authors studied the influence of phthalates on maternal and newborn thyroid hormones. Their findings suggest that co-exposure to […]
Dr. Gilbert-Diamond Receives an R01 in 2018
Center investigator Diane Gilbert-Diamond has received an R01 to investigate the relation of genetic factors, food cues, and self-regulation with excess consumption and adiposity in children. The overarching hypothesis of the present study is that some children are genetically predisposed to eating in the absence of hunger in response to […]
Dr. Hoen Receives R01 in 2017
Center investigator Anne Hoen has received an R01 to investigate multi-omic functional integration. This grant proposes the developing, evaluating, applying and distributing a new set of tools for performing meaningful analysis and integration of ‘omics data for human microbiota studies. This work has the potential to to help translate experimental […]
Dr. Madan Featured in 2018 Nature Article
Center Investigator Juliette Madan was featured in a Nature editorial article discussing new research suggesting the possibility of a fetal microbiome. “There’s very little in and on the human body that could be considered sterile,” says Madan. Nature
Dr. Salas’ Research Featured on Epigenetics in 2017
Epidemiology postdoc (now assistant professor) Dr. Lucas Salas’ research was featured on the cover of the journal Epigenetics. Dr. Salas, who is in Brock Christensen’s lab, and his co-authors studied global DNA methylation dysregulation patterns across cancer types, showing a higher impact in CpG-poor areas of the genome. This work […]
Dr. Christensen Receives New R01
Center investigator Brock Christensen has received a new R01 to study biomarkers of bladder cancer. The grant proposes to leverage an existing population-based study of bladder cancer that includes a range of patient age groups, has several years of follow up, includes patient treatment and outcome data, as well as […]
Christensen Lab Distributes New Research
New research from Dr. Brock Christensen’s lab identified CpG sites that demonstrated significant associations with subject age in normal breast tissue. This study suggests that regions in the genome where DNA methylation changes occur with age are particularly sensitive to disruption in cancer. Science Daily Breast Cancer Research
