Human Early Learning Partnership’s (HELP) Michael Kobor, W. Thomas Boyce and the late Clyde Hertzman are among a team of researchers who have received $1.5 million in inaugural funding from the Brain Canada and W. Garfield Weston Foundation Multi-Investigator Research Initiative. The research team, which also includes researchers at McGill University and the University of Ottawa, will use the grant for epigenetics research focused on identifying the early-life origins of mental health and disease. Specifically, the team will be investigating how environmental factors can “get under the skin” to alter the function of genes throughout the life course. For more information, click here.
