The conference will highlight the role of epigenetics in determining the impact of the environment on children's current and future health. The role of the Office of Children's Health at EPA is to protect children's health from environmental hazards where children live, learn, and play. CEHN's research on the mechanisms of abnormal child development is very important in EPA's ability to protect children's health. The work that CEHN is doing is not being done elsewhere.
CEHN is a non-profit organization and has been working in this area since the late 1980's and has a long standing mission to further research and support research into the mechanisms of abnormal child development and function by which environmental agents exert their effects.
