Abstract

The US chapter of the International Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) Society recently held its inaugural meeting in Detroit, MI. US-based DOHaD researchers gathered both to create this new society chapter and share their latest research. The US DOHaD Society will provide a much-needed domestic forum for a broad range of DOHaD topics including nutrition, toxicology, stress, epidemiology, epigenetics, and more.

Keywords: developmental origins of health and disease; epidemiology; epigenetics; nutrition; sex-specific effects; toxicology.
