Emerging Issues: Gene-Environment Interactions
Many diseases are a result of complex interactions between an individual's genetic make-up and environmental factors. Genetic variation can influence a person's susceptibility to these factors, causing certain individuals to respond differently to the same environmental exposure.
Gradient's expertise in epidemiology, genetics, toxicology, and risk communication gives us the scientific credibility to critically evaluate gene-environment interactions for the purposes of risk assessment and litigation support, as well as to communicate the results to clients, regulatory agencies, and the public.
