More about the Principal Investigator

• What is your area of Expertise?

  • Epigenetics/epigenomics of Human Disease, Environmental Epigenomics

• What interested you in getting involved with the Twins Study?

  • I am interested in the semi-controlled space environmental epigenomics question, given there is an identical twin on the ground. I’m also a space enthusiast, I would still go if I had a chance.

• What did you enjoy about the study?

  • The mission is greater than the individual investigators, and is trans-generational. It’s wonderful to play a small part in transforming humans from an earthbound to an inter-planetary species.
