Global Conference on Public Health & Epidemiology

Epigenetics
Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression that occur without altering the DNA sequence. In public health, epigenetics helps explain how environmental, social, and behavioral factors—such as nutrition, stress, pollution, and early-life experiences—can influence health and disease risk across the life course. Epigenetic mechanisms include DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA regulation. These changes can affect susceptibility to chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and mental health disorders. Public health research in epigenetics highlights the long-term impact of early exposures and social determinants on population health. Understanding epigenetic influences supports prevention strategies and policies that promote healthy environments. Epigenetics bridges genetics and public health, offering insights into how biology and environment interact to shape health outcomes.
