GCPH Seminar Series 8: Professor Jonathan Seckl - Audio - Developmental programming - how your parents' environment before you were born impacts on your and your children's risk of disease

Update: 2012-02-14

Description

We all blame our genes for many of our features, behaviours and illnesses. Recent studies suggest that the environment before birth is also a major influence on the risk of ill-health across the lifespan and perhaps into a further generation.

This process, called ‘developmental programming’, has been studied intensively in recent years and is beginning to reveal a process called epigenetics which underpins growth, behaviour and health risks. In this seminar, Prof Seckl will discuss these issues and how for example, stress during pregnancy or how well a child’s grandfather ate, impacts on their life.
