Скачать или смотреть Sleep & Epigenetics: Understanding the Genetic Links to Sleep Health

In this episode, we explore the fascinating role of epigenetics in sleep and sleep disorders. Our guest, Dr. Rene Cortese, a researcher in the Departments of Pediatrics and Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Missouri School of Medicine, brings his expertise in epigenetics and complex diseases to the discussion. Dr. Cortese’s research focuses on how complex diseases develop, progress, and are inherited, with a special emphasis on identifying potential treatments. His current work examines epigenetic mechanisms in genome regulation, especially those affecting children's and women's health.

Hope you find this episode insightful!
