Today we’re talking all about epigenetics! What is it, how does it work and how can we use that information to protect our DNA and reduce our risk of diseases such as cancer.

Watch the video version here:  https://youtu.be/yJTXCSDGDeE

Dr. Amanda Khoury is a Cancer Epigeneticist who is driven by a deep curiosity to work out how our bodies work and how a breakdown in our epigenetic processes can give rise to disease. Dr. Khoury’s work focuses on preventing DNA damage and developing therapies that could potentially repair our DNA and reduce the incidence of disease.
