Episode 9- Deirdre McCarthy- Substance Effects on Multigenerational Epigenetic Inheritance
Deirdre McCarthy is a distinguished researcher with a passion for understanding the complex interplay between environmental exposures and genetic inheritance. In this episode, we explore her groundbreaking work on substance exposure in mice and how it can impact not only the exposed individuals but also their subsequent generations.
Join us as we unravel the fascinating discoveries made by Deirdre McCarthy and her team, delving into the mechanisms of epigenetics and how they can transmit the effects of substance exposure across generations in mice.
