  • Dr. Raineki Biological Sciences Seminar – April 22

    Tuesday, April 19, 2022 | By

    Join us April 22 at 12:00 pm EST for the Biological Sciences seminar titled:

    “Uncovering biological mechanisms for the developmental origins of health and disease: A translational approach”

    Featuring: Dr. Charlis Raineki, Brock University

    Outline

    My laboratory’s primary research interest is to uncover biological mechanisms of neurobehavioral deficits induced by pre- and/or postnatal adverse experiences, with a special focus on understanding the increased vulnerability for psychopathology associated with these early insults. In this talk, I will discuss some of the ongoing and future work in my laboratory using animal models (rodent and nonhuman primate) and human cohorts.

  • Dr. Mashoodh Biological Sciences Seminar – April 8

    Join us April 8 at 12:00 pm EST for the Biological Sciences seminar titled:

    “Epigenetics, inheritance and adaptation within the family environment”

    Featuring: Dr. Rahia Mashoodh, Cambridge University

    Outline

    The role of epigenetics in mediating developmental plasticity both within and across generations provides a novel framework for understanding the inheritance of individual variations in phenotype and the role of the
    environment in inducing heritable modifications. In this talk, I will discuss evidence for maternal and paternal epigenetic influence on development and the pathways through which these influences may lead to transgenerational effects.
