This website will help us broadcast news for our research projects and highlight the work that all of us are doing! Welcome to 2021 everyone, let’s do our best to make this year healthy, productive, enjoyable, and less stressful than 2020!
Check out our recent publication in collaboration with the PACE Consortium, where we characterized the impacts of tobacco smoke on the placental epigenome. Working with seven international cohorts, we performed a meta-analysis of the impacts of maternal smoking during pregnancy on placental DNA methylation levels. Similar to what has previously been observed with cord blood, […]
Dr. Graw presented our recent epigenetic clock project at the Epigenomics of Common Diseases Conference 2020. We identified sets of CpG sites that are predictive of postmenstrual and postnatal age (PMA and PNA) among infants that were born prematurely. We used elastic net regression to identify the CpG sites and produce parameter estimates, and used […]
I’m at the ISEE 2022 conference sharing our pilot project, PFAS associated changes in the placental transcriptome (Post P-0970 on Wednesday 9/21, top floor). If you are attending, stop by and check out our work. Or if interested in joining our research group or collaborating on research projects, check out the Training Opportunities page, or […]
We are seeking post-doctoral fellows to assist with NIH-funded research projects involving: Identifying epigenetic predictors of children’s developmental impairments in a sample of infants that were born very preterm. Examining epigenetic and developmental trajectories across childhood. Participate in multi-site studies with the NIH Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) program. Testing the impacts of […]
We have a lot of exciting research activities commencing this year and a great team to do get it all done. The epigenetic landscape in children the were born very preterm – This year we’ll be generating longitudinal DNA methylation data in our NOVI cohort, and begin to study how epigenetic trajectories track with developmental […]

A number of studies have shown that individuals that were maltreated as children may have epigenetic differences in genes involved in the HPA-axis later in adulthood. This may be one of mechanisms through which early life adversity and maltreatment can impact health throughout the life-course. In a developing collaboration with Dr. Mary Clyde Pierce at […]
The Rollins School of Public Health has been ranked #4 in the nation by the U.S. News & World Report! I am so lucky to be able to work with the dedicated and truly excellent faculty, students, and staff that earned this distinction. Looking forward to what the rest of 2021 has in store for […]
