Keynote Speaker Michael Kobor @koborlab@UBC delivered his talk:
"Epigenetics & the Human Life Course"
He discussed aging across the life course, the epigenetic landscape, the determinants of current health, environment & the idea of focusing on the healthspan vs the lifespan
Research suggests that fine particulate matter is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, but the mechanisms are unknown.
Check out a new publication by @koborlab and colleagues focused on how DNA methylation can mediate this association.
