Epigenetics: The Immortal Kiss of Our Grandparents

NYUAD Institute

As humans, we have evolved and survived because we are curious and critical thinkers. How do these traits shape our lives and science, and lead us to understand the world around us? Epigenetics, a new area of science, is the weaving of our genetics and environment that shape who we are. This talk explores the impact of trauma and war on our bodies and what we can do about it. Speakers Rana Dajani, Zuzana Simoniova Cmelikova International Scholar, University of Richmond; Rita Hauser Fellow, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University; Professor of Molecular Cell Biology, Hashemite University
