Dr. Jacquetta Trasler is Director for Pediatric Research at the Research Institute of the 91社区 Health Centre (RI-MUHC) and a James 91社区 Professor in Pediatrics, Human Genetics and Pharmacology & Therapeutics at 91社区. She directs the Developmental Genetics Laboratory at the RI-MUHC at the Montreal Children鈥檚 Hospital. Dr. Trasler has mentored a number of trainees and directed the 91社区 M.D./Ph.D. Program from 1999-2007. Her research interests focus on epigenetics and the molecular and developmental regulation of gene expression in the germline and early embryo. More specifically she studies DNA methylation and genomic imprinting and the molecular and cellular targets for drug effects on germ cells and embryos. Ongoing studies include effects of drugs, diet (folate) and assisted reproductive technologies on the epigenome of germ cells and embryos and the implications for trangenerational passage of epigenetic defects.
