Monthly Nordic Global Health Talks - 4 May 2023
The Nordic universities arranges monthly webinar series about Global Health. It began 6 Jan. 2021. The webinar series are hosted at University of Copenhagen.
Main content
Presenter: Professor Cecilie Svanes, University of Bergen.
Topic: Have we forgotten the fathers? The paternal origin of health and disease
Can targeted interventions in one generation efficiently improve health in multiple generations? Emerging research suggests that health and disease may origin in exposures years before conception, and that the future fathers may be as important as the pregnant mothers for offspring health. Possibly environmental factors or malnutrition – as well as beneficial interventions - could influence not only the person experiencing this exposure/intervention, but also the developing sperm and egg, and thereby the future offspring born from those cells?
