Stressed parents - Shaping the brain before, during and after birth
- When
- 12 Feb 2020, 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
- Where
- Ian Potter Auditorium
This public lecture focuses on the role that stress and trauma play in disease across generations. Come along and learn how our life experiences can be transmitted biologically to the next generation, affecting not only how a child’s brain develops but also how they interact with their environment as they grow into adulthood.
Our special international guest lecturer, Dr Tracy Bale, will explore how her US lab is expanding our understanding of epigenetics using mouse models to study the important interaction of genes and the environment. Dr. Tracy Bale is a Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and Director of the Center for Epigenetic Research.
