Current Projects

• Multigenerational inheritance of DNA methylation signatures in autism spectrum disorders

  The focus of this project is to try to understand if grandparental and parental environmental exposures, such as smoking, can be associated with ASD in their grandchildren. This study utilizes data from whole-genome bisulfite sequencing of saliva and newborn dried blood spots.

• Parental and grandparental exposome and breast cancer biomarkers in daughters and granddaughters

  This project is focused on understanding the risk factors for breast cancer and how they are related to DNA methylation changes across three generations.

• Detect Signs of Early Life Exposures in Midlife to Prevent Breast Cancer Inequities

  The goal of this project is to detect early life exposures associated with breast cancer across three generations.

• Goals for Reaching Optimal Wellness (GROWell)

  It is a clinical trial focused on understanding the effect of a digital dietary intervention for pregnant and postpartum individuals with prenatal overweight or obesity. This project has both lipidomics and WGBS done and we want to use these two multi-omic approaches to understand the dynamics of lipid regulation in pregnancy.

• Genotyping of a structural variant associated with increased autism risk

  This project is focused on understanding how the genotype for the NHIP structural variant is associated with the risk of ASD.

• Examining longitudinal changes in DNA methylation in firefighters exposed to products of combustion

  The study is part of the California Firefighter Cancer Prevention and Research Program (Award: F01FF8767) and examines molecular changes associated with occupational exposure to products of combustion. ​
