Vishal Lamba is an experienced scientist knowledgeable in genetics and pharmacology. In epigenetics, DNA methylation is a mechanism that is used by the cells to control gene expression. There are some different tools that exist to control gene expression in eukaryotes. The DNA methylation mechanism is most commonly used as a signaling tool that can fix the genes in the off position.
In recent years, researchers have been able to link abnormal DNA methylation to the appearance of diseases such as cancer, lupus, muscular dystrophy and numerous congenital defects. This information may play a major role in helping scientist and doctors develop specific therapies and help them better understand and prevent conditions that may develop during embryonic development. Understanding the relationship between DNA methylation and the development of disease will help scientist and doctors better treat their patients with personalized and precision medicine.
Vishal Lamba has been studying genetics and their relationship to the development of disease for several years. He earned his Doctoral of Philosophy at the University of Tennessee.
