I am a doctoral researcher at the Molecular Epidemiology Research group. The primary scope of my research is to understand the effect of certain developmental exposures on DNA methylation in a healthy population. In addition to understanding how the different DNA methylation patterns are established, I am also interested to assess the potential health consequences that these changes may have in later life.

I work with multi-omic population cohorts which include DNA methylation, genetic, gene expression and phenotype data. This allows me to better understand the complex biological processes that affect and are affect by DNA methylation.
