The Why Science Initiative
We explore the reasons why life science researchers and industry professionals are driven to do the work they do and why the general public should understand and care about their discoveries and breakthroughs. Sponsored by Quansys Bio with Kyle Valgardson as the host.

Episode 7- Dr. Michael Skinner-Epigenetic Inheritance and Disease
Dr. Michael Skinner has devoted his career to unraveling the mechanisms behind epigenetic inheritance and its role in health and disease. In this episode, he shares his cutting-edge research on how environmental exposures and lifestyle choices can leave a lasting imprint on our genes, influencing the health of future generations.
Join us as we explore
the fascinating world of epigenetics, understanding how chemical modifications
to our DNA can influence gene expression and impact susceptibility to various
diseases. Dr. Skinner sheds light on the role of epigenetic changes in
conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and neurological disorders, presenting a
paradigm shift in our understanding of disease inheritance.
