WELCOME TO THE PARK LAB

Research suggests that only 5-10% of cancers are hereditary. Lifestyle choices
we make, like the foods we eat and our physical activity levels, have a direct
impact on our overall cancer risk. In addition to known modifiable risk factors
like smoking, alcohol consumption, and obesity, researchers are still trying to
understand how other factors, like dietary, environmental exposures, stress, and
social factors, might also affect our risk.

The Park Lab examines relationships between lifestyle and environmental
exposures and disease risk as well as their interactions with genetics and
epigenetics. Epigenetics, or the study of modifications to the DNA that result
in a change in phenotype that is heritable but does not involve DNA mutation,
lies at the intersection of nature and nurture, blending the impact of the DNA
that we are born with the influence of our environment.



We also work on identifying biomarkers for lifestyle and environmental exposures
and disease status. We believe that the more we know about individuals, the
better we can predict their disease risk and prognosis and the better their
chances for disease prevention and survival.
