Entitled Social science and epigenetics: opportunities and challenges, the symposium will seek to examine how multidisciplinary research into epigenetics — the science of the lasting marks that modify the expression of the genes encoded in our
DNA — might help provide answers to societal concerns including why deprivation has such a marked

health.
The focus of the conference was connecting how epigenetics (cellular and physiological phenotypic trait variations that are caused by external or environmental factors that switch genes on and off and affect how cells read genes instead of being caused by changes in the
DNA sequence — in other words nutrition and lifestyle choices)
impact whether or not an individual actually develops a specific
health issue even though they have a SNP mutation.
