Role of parental genotype in driving offspring susceptibility to pesticide exposure

Our work focuses on a fundamental question: "To what extent do developmental processes cause long lasting effects on disease susceptibility later in life, and what are the factors & mechanisms responsible?" Maternal pesticide exposure during pregnancy has been linked to offspring obesity and metabolic dysregulation later in life. This seminar will present our work to develop and characterize a mouse model to study the effects of pesticide exposure during pregnancy and identify the endogenous processes that drive susceptibility to phenotypic responses.
