Michael Skinner

Michael Skinner is a prominent scientist known for studying how environmental factors, like chemical exposures, can cause changes in gene behavior that may affect health across generations. He investigates epigenetics, which involves modifications to DNA that don’t change the genetic code itself but influence how genes are turned on or off. His research suggests that certain exposures can lead to inherited health issues, prompting a better understanding of disease mechanisms and potential prevention strategies. Skinner's work emphasizes the importance of environment and lifestyle in shaping biological outcomes beyond immediate effects.
