Top Institutions in Epigenetics and Environmental Health
Leading institutions employ multidisciplinary approaches combining animal models, genome-wide epigenetic profiling, molecular biology techniques, and epidemiological studies to investigate mechanisms of epigenetic inheritance and its implications for human health.
-
#1
Washington State University
Pullman, WA
Home to Dr. Michael Skinner, a pioneer in epigenetic transgenerational inheritance research, WSU leads in long-term animal model studies elucidating mechanisms by which environmental toxicants induce heritable epigenetic changes affecting disease susceptibility.
Key Differentiators
- Epigenetics
- Environmental Toxicology
- Reproductive Biology
-
#2
Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Boston, MA
Harvard excels in integrating population-based environmental exposure data with epigenomic analyses to understand the impact of toxicants on human health and disease risk across generations.
Key Differentiators
- Environmental Health
- Epigenomics
- Epidemiology
-
#3
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), NIH
Research Triangle Park, NC
NIEHS is a federal leader in toxicology and epigenetics research, funding and conducting studies on how environmental exposures affect epigenetic regulation and contribute to disease across generations.
Key Differentiators
- Environmental Toxicology
- Epigenetics
- Molecular Biology
-
#4
University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)
San Francisco, CA
UCSF integrates clinical and basic science research to explore epigenetic influences on reproductive health and disease, with strong programs in environmental impacts on human development.
Key Differentiators
- Epigenetics
- Reproductive Medicine
- Environmental Health Sciences
-
#5
Yale University School of Medicine
New Haven, CT
Yale has a strong focus on molecular mechanisms of epigenetic regulation and environmental influences on gene expression, contributing to understanding transgenerational disease risks.
