Episode 11: Outside Influence: Stimuli, Epigenomics, and Changing Cell Behavior
Nature vs. nurture? How about nature and nature? Dr. Candace Lewis, a postdoctoral fellow in the Huentelman lab at TGen, walks us through a biological regulatory framework known as epigenomics that changes the behavior of our cells due to our life experiences. Dr. Lewis also discusses the resurgence in psychedelic assisted therapy to treat depression and trauma, and her work in Autism.
