Launching as part of the inaugural Research Discovery Week, the topic for our first Scientist: Ask Me Anything video is epigenetics. Have you ever wondered how your surroundings impact not only your health, but the health of the current and future generations of your family? Epigenetics is the science of how factors such as our nutrition, stress, environment, and more can influence how our genes work. Moderated by Todd Florin, MD, MSCE, Lurie Children’s investigators Leena Mithal, MD, and Audrey Raut, MD, answer questions and share their expertise about the topic of epigenetics.
