Effects of DNA Methylation on Diabetes (Charlotte Ling)

Episode 45

April 1, 2021

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we caught up with Dr. Charlotte Ling from Lund University in Sweden, to talk about her work on the role of DNA methylation in diabetes. The Ling lab investigates how differently methylated DNA is associated with diabetes risk, with its successful treatment, and how it can change with exercise. We discuss how Charlotte Ling ended up in the field of diabetes and how the results of her work are now used to develop blood-based biomarkers.
