Send us a text

Dr. Bodour Salhia PhD is a translational genomics scientist with extensive knowledge and expertise in mechanisms that underlie tumorigenesis and tumor biology. She merges cutting-edge genomics/epigenomics analyses with cell biological and functional studies toward the investigation of clinically relevant problems in human cancer. 

During her graduate training, she focused on understanding the molecular and cellular determinants of glioma invasion. Her post-doctoral work focused on the genomics and epigenomics of breast cancer metastasis and multiple myeloma.

Let's say you're pregnant and experiencing abuse, your feotus will experience that trauma.  There's multi-generational effects, when the generation that actually experiences the trauma, can pass it on to future generations.

In this Survivor Revival Podcast episode, Jen discusses the epigenetics of child abuse, the impact on the life of the person, and the possibility for that to impact further generations. It's a complex yet extremely interesting topic, that needs to be highlighted, and Dr Bodour does an excellent job of communicating a very complex topic, in simpler-to-understand terms.
