Associate Professor of Public Health
Research areas include environmental toxicology, bioinformatics, mechanisms of epigenetic inheritance and mechanisms of aging.
Current Research
We try to dissect, how environmental factors and molecular mechanisms play together to determine epigenetic aging of tissues. Specifically, we focus on changes in metabolic profile and epigenetic program transferred to the next generation with sperm. To answer these questions we use broad range of method with a particular focus on high-throughput, sequencing based methods and bioinformatics analysis.
