Workshop on Developmental Programming and Disease: Environmental Risk Factors, Mechanisms, and Strategies
On September 27, 2018, the department of Environmental Medicine and the UR Environmental Health Science Center held a workshop on Developmental Programming of Disease, an increasingly recognized basis for diseases and disorders that occur throughout life. The workshop focused on current understanding of mechanisms that underlie early life programming, ranging from glucocorticoids, germ cell imprinting, immune cell programming, the gut microbiome and nutrition. The morning session included presentations of cutting edge research, and the afternoon session included a breakout group discussions addressing interrelated issues, including limitations of our current understanding, cumulative exposure/stressors, intervention/prevention approaches and future research directions. These discussions will be shared back to the group at large, and the workshop ended with a wine and cheese reception.
