Determining the impacts of epigenetic modifying drugs on germline programming and offspring health [ 2018 - 2020 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Patrick Western (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr David Ziegler ,  Dr Rachel Hill ,  Prof David Adelson ,  Prof David Gardner

Brief description New drugs have been developed that inhibit specific enzymes that regulate epigenetic pathways in cells. These pathways significantly affect growth and development in offspring and may represent a risk to future children of patients taking the drug. This project will determine these risks and provide data for developing clinical guidelines for safe use of the drugs.
