Biography

Dr Reinhard ³§³Ùö²µ±ð°ù

Reinhard ³§³Ùö²µ±ð°ù studied biology and genetics at the University of Vienna, Austria. He worked with Denise Barlow to His work at King's College, London led to the identification of a new subfamily of chromodomain helicases.

³§³Ùö²µ±ð°ù carried out research at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and at the University of Washington, Seattle, USA, and was Together with Charles Laird he designed and established '', a method to accurately measure heritability of DNA methylation patterns. ³§³Ùö²µ±ð°ù and colleagues were the first to develop and apply 'batchstamps' and 'barcodes' - unique molecular identifiers of nucleic acid molecules.

³§³Ùö²µ±ð°ù's theoretical work predicts canalisation and epigenetic regulation of large metabolic gene-networks in response to environmental signals. The ' provides an explanation for the difficulty of identifying allelic variations associated with complex disease and predicts epigenetic inheritance of metabolic disorders.

Teaching Summary

Undergraduate Teaching:

Teaching in modules that cover the following topics: epigenetics, developmental biology, respiration, cell signalling, cell cycle, growth factors, endocrinology, evolutionary adaptations.

Year 3: supervision of BSc research projects directly informed by past and present research carried out Dr ³§³Ùö²µ±ð°ù.

Research Summary

Reinhard ³§³Ùö²µ±ð°ù investigates the epigenetic basis and heritability of acquired traits in humans and animals. His current research focuses on:

- Epigenetic clocks: assembled from epigenomic and metabolomic data to measure and understand the differences between chronological and biological age in health and disease

- Molecular and epigenetic approaches to understand and manipulate growth of animals, including insects with attention to nucleic acid modifications

Research concentrates on identification and characterisation of genomic loci that are responsive to environmental stressors and stimuli such as under/overnutrition, synthetic compounds and hormones. Do the epigenetic marks change? How persistent are this epigenetic changes?

- using gene-specific and integrative omics approaches. This is a collaborative research project with colleagues Gillian Bentley (Durham University / UK) and Philippa Melamed (Technion / Israel), funded by the .

Research is also underway to explore DNA metabolism of the mitochondrial genome in response to developmental and environmental stimuli.
