DNA Methylation in Anorexia Nervosa

DNA helix

We received the inaugural Sarah Kyle Anorexia Nervosa Research Foundation (SKANRF) grant to support our research on DNA methylation in anorexia nervosa. Along with our collaborators at UTHealth Houston and at Vanderbilt University, we will be examining the genetic and environmental factors that affect anorexia nervosa. Using DNA methylation to identify potential anorexia nervosa biomarkers, we aim to uncover novel targets for treatment and prevention.
