Developmental methylomics of childhood trauma and its health consequences
Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Adverse childhood experiences are common and their repercussions in terms of medical costs, societal cost, and psychological toll on its victims are tremendous. The goal of this project are to characterize how these experiences become "embedded" in the methylome and to identify the biologically processes that affect the long term health risks. Successful completion of this project also implies that we will have found replicable methylation biomarker signatures that could, for example, serve as diagnostic "biomarkers of damage" to guide intervention strategies.
