Epigenetics

chemical biology interface program in Stanford is also very unique. By surveying the cell chenome, the elaborate design of billion years of evolution, it takes into account of a desperately needed input for how chemical environment factored into the epigenetic implication for cancer. But what attracts me the most about Stanford is how closely different department works together. Stanford comes the closest to adopting the right conceptual mindset to defeat disease such as cancer. It recognize…

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to determine if obesity in pregnant women leads to higher rates of obesity in their offspring. According to the World Health Organization, obesity should be treated as a world wide epidemic ( WHO). One in three Americans are obese and many more are overweight, or on the borderline of obesity. Public opinion of obesity has always been that is is simply due to lifestyle choices or poor diet and exercise; however, the World Health Organization believes…

Schizophrenia is a mental disease, symptoms can begin as early as teen years, but is mostly seen in early and late adulthood, men can being to show symptoms in their early 20’s while women show symptoms in their late 20’s. Schizophrenia is known to cause people with this mental disorder to be unable to distinguish what’s real and what’s unreal, and requires lifelong treatment. It is known as a cognitive disorder in which causes behavior effects that are known to cause hallucinations, depression,…

application for an assistant professor position. Currently, I am the Principle Investigator (Title: Senior Research Fellow) in the MRC Centre for Reproductive Health, University of Edinburgh, UK. The interests of my laboratory are to understand the epigenetic reprogramming that occurs during the oocyte-to-zygote transition, pre-implantation stages and the establishment of totipotency/pluripotency. I have known Tomokazu since I went to University of Connecticut in 2007 for my Ph.D.. Tomokazu is…

Pacific Biosciences is the manufacturer that develops comprehensive solution for the used if scientist that stimulate the field of genomics. They also stimulate the field of genomics, improve in science and its research and create positive impact through globally. PacBio also contribute in resolving complex genetic challenges by revolutionized the methods. PacBio tried to develop a new novel technology that is able to push the boundaries of the sequencing in order to overcome the challenges in…

Many of the tasks that multi-cellular organisms perform are truly inspiring, from embryogenesis to organogenesis and other developmental processes. Developmental biology covers some of the most interesting procedures of the formation and transformation of living beings. One question in particular that sparked my interest in the vast field is how certain species of animals are able to completely reform a limb after it has been entirely severed. Such a feat is completely and utterly astonishing.…

Since the fat cell number has been created for people before birth it must work through four physiological pathways including; genetics, epigenetics, developmental programming, and environmental toxins. Usually genetics and environment are a reason of blame for obesity, but actually our DNA only makes up a low number of genes that associate with obesity. Epigenetics is unlike genetics, it is the on and off button for a person’s genes, poor eating or lots of stress in the pregnant mother can…

1.6 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Previous in silico research in our laboratory found that H2A.B is highly expressed in one particular cancer type, Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (HL) is a type of B cell cancer that affects both men and women of various ages. HL can be divided into two classes: classical HL (cHL) and Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant HL (NLPHL) according to the WHO classification 2008 (Swerdlow et al., 2008). The classical HL accounts for 95% of all HL cases, and it has been further…

Brain injuries in neonates cause marked chronic disability and can have a profound impact on the quality of life both in the patient and for their family. Causes of Neonatal brain injuries include stroke, hypoxia - ischaemia, foetal inflammation, reperfusion injuries, metabolic pathway insufficiency, and birth asphyxiation events. It is important to note that the type of injury seen in the neonate is largely dependent on age at the time of insult. In premature…

greater effect on the sexuality, intelligence, and criminal behavior of human beings. Sexual orientation is heavily determined by nature through epigenetics, which are chemical modifications of the human genome that alter gene activity without changing the DNA sequence. The Science, a magazine, recently posted an article which explores the role of epigenetics in homosexuality. It explained a study of male twins which found that epi-marks, chemical changes to chromosomes which are usually…
