Epigenetics – How environment and lifestyle shape your biology
Twenty years ago, scientists believed that by knowing all about human genes, most diseases could be explained. We now know that human biology isn’t as simple as that. What if our DNA could tell us not only what we inherited — but what our bodies have experienced? The answer may lay in epigenetics – how your body turns on and off genes to deal with challenges. Factors such as aging, environment, diseases and lifestyle continuously alter our epigenetic settings, and by decoding these changing patterns, we get further in understanding the complexity of human biology. Join us for an evening exploring epigenetics and the future of proactive health. Prof. Maria Lerm, Professor at Linköping University and co-founder of PredictMe, will share how our environment, lifestyle and experiences can leave measurable marks on our biology, and why this matters for understanding and protecting our future health. We'll explore questions like: How much of our health is shaped by our environment? Can lifestyle change our biology? And could we detect harmful changes before disease becomes symptomatic? After the talk, stay for an open discussion and networking with people across medicine, science, longevity, biotech and proactive health. Also you will be offered the chance to early access PredictMe Delta at an exclusive discount. 🥗 Light food & non-alcoholic drinks will be served. 📍 Rotherbaum, Hamburg 🧬 Talk + Q&A + Networking 🎟️ Limited capacity — registration subject to approval 🇬🇧 Please note: This event will be held entirely in English 👩⚕️ Our Speaker: Prof. Maria Lerm Professor for Medical Microbiology Prof. Maria Lerm is a professor in Medical Microbiology at Linköping University and is leading projects within epigenetics and infectious diseases, focusing on tuberculosis and post-COVID.
