In a joint workshop held by the National Institute of Health’s National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and the Office of Research on Women’s Health, authorities from major academic institutions gathered together for a series of meetings concentrated on understanding the importance of gender on normal human function and the experience of disease.
Doctor Legato’s keynote lecture opened the meeting, and was devoted to an exploration of the evidence linking experience to changes in the phenotype through the new science of epigenetics, the discipline that describes how the environment produces changes in genomic expression.
