Episode Synopsis
What's Work Got To Do With Epigenetics?
Guest: Mitch Turker, Ph.D., J.D.
Host: Sam Greenspan, M.P.H.
You’ve probably heard many times that work, diet, sleep and stress can impact your health. But do you know how and why? And...what's work got to do with it?
We went to one of our researchers at our institute, Dr. Mitch Turker, who studies epigenetics for some answers. Dr. Turker has been studying the epigenome for many years. He received a PhD in Pathology from the University of Washington, as well as a JD from Lewis and Clark Law School where he studied Environmental law here in Portland Oregon. He is an avid hiker and enjoys all things outdoors in the Pacific Northwest. His research is focused on the understanding how genetic changes occur and its’ relevance of these events to cancer and aging.
