Gertner Institute for Epigenetics

The Gertner Institute for Epigenetics is a research organization dedicated to studying how environmental factors influence gene activity without changing the DNA sequence itself. This field, called epigenetics, helps us understand how lifestyle, nutrition, and exposure to toxins can affect health and disease risk across our lifespan and generations. The institute aims to develop new insights and tools for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of various health conditions, emphasizing personalized medicine. Through scientific research, they seek to improve healthcare outcomes by understanding the dynamic ways our surroundings impact our genetic expression.
