Gene-Environment Interactions Affinity Group (GEI)

Affinity Group IV: Gene-Environment Interactions Affinity Group (GEI)
Affinity Group Leader: Marisa Bartolomei

Group Description
Aim: The mission of the GEI affinity group is to elucidate the interaction of environmental exposures with genotype and epigenotype that underpin phenotypes that affect individual susceptibility to disease, its prevention and treatment. There is increased focus on mechanisms by which environmental exposures alter patterns of gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms.
