Scientists have developed a molecular “clock” that could reshape how pediatricians measure and monitor childhood growth and potentially allow for an earlier diagnosis of life-altering development disorders. The research, published this week in PNAS, describes how the addition of chemical tags to DNA over time can potentially be used to screen for developmental differences and health problems in children.
Eric Lussier's role as Research Development Facilitator is to work with investigators at BCCHR and the Women’s Health Research Institute to develop strong research plans and proposals. He works with faculty and trainees on all types of proposals, and provides expert logistics for major projects.
