CEGM Home

The CEGM is focused on the complex interactions between environmental agents, including nutritional status, pharmaceutical compounds and noxious workplace exposures, and their impact on genes and human health. We are concerned with in utero exposures leading to the development of congenital malformations as well as developmental changes that can result in tumor formation in the adult.
