Epigenetics and FASD

February 16, 2022 @ 10:00 am. - 11:00 am.

Summary: Prenatal exposure to alcohol can permanently affect fetal development and result in fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). In this webinar, Dr. McGraw will talk about the lasting epigenetic changes triggered by alcohol during gestation, as well as present recent research showing how prenatal exposure to alcohol could affect the embryo at as early as the stage of pre-implantation.

Presenter

Dr. Serge McGraw
About:

Dr. Serge McGraw is an Associate Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Université de Montréal (Montréal, Canada).  His principal research interests are focused on the harmful developmental outcomes caused by epigenetic instabilities arising from alterations in DNA methylation profiles during early embryogenesis. By combining in vitro stem cell models as well as in vivo mouse models with multi-omics sequencing approaches, his laboratory aims at understanding how perturbations in the early embryonic program may lead to epigenetics errors driving in the occurrence of prenatal or after birth developmental disorders.
