Course Description

Overview

Discover groundbreaking insights into epigenetics in this 17-minute TEDx talk by pioneering researcher Moshe Szyf. Explore how DNA, once thought to be fixed, is cleverly modified according to environmental needs, even before birth. Learn about the emerging field of "social epigenetics" and its implications for human behavior, health, and disease. Gain understanding of how early life social environments can alter DNA methylation, challenging traditional views on genetic destiny. Delve into Szyf's three decades of research proposing DNA methylation as a prime therapeutic target in cancer and other diseases. Uncover the potential of epigenetics-based therapeutics and diagnostics in shaping the future of medicine.
