Todd Everson
Associate Professor
Faculty, Environmental Health
Secondary Appointment, Epidemiology
Todd Everson's research is focused on how early-life experiences and exposures shape underlying biological regulatory programs (the epigenome and transcriptome) and whether the remodeling of those patterns may have long term influences on health. Dr. Everson has considerable experience with epigenome-wide association studies and transcriptomic analyses of prenatal exposures and birth outcomes. He is also involved in large multi-cohort studies such as the Pregnancy and Childhood Epigenetics (PACE) consortium, which are aimed at fostering collaborations between existing studies to examine how early life environmental factors and epigenomic variations contribute to children's health.
