Michael Golding

I am a Professor of Physiology at Texas A&M University. My independent research program focuses on the interface between pregnancy and epigenetics, trying to understand how environmental exposures before conception or early in development cause disease later in life.
My long-term goals are to change the narrative on the origins of alcohol-induced birth defects and define epigenetic mechanisms of paternal inheritance contributing to fetal alcohol syndrome.
My research is supported by the NIH (R01AA028219) and a Medical Research Grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation and focuses on defining the epigenetic mechanisms by which paternal drinking influences the development of alcohol-induced congenital disabilities.
