Dana Dolinoy, Ph.D.
Searle Assistant Professor in Environmental Health Sciences
Phone: (734) 647-3155 E-mail: ddolinoy@umich.edu
Faculty Profile

Dana Dolinoy's lab investigates environmental epigenetics and gene-environment interactions. It is increasingly recognized that environmental exposure to chemical, nutritional, and behavioral factors alters gene expression and affects health and disease by not only mutating promoter and coding regions of genes, but also by modifying the epigenome.
