Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Virginia Falkenberg"
- Virginia Falkenberg's recent research focuses on the intersection of genomics education and health, particularly the role of genetics in conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). She is actively involved in initiatives like the Genomics Education Partnership, which aims to integrate genomics research into undergraduate curricula, especially in community colleges to support underrepresented students.
- Falkenberg has made significant contributions to understanding the genetic and epigenetic factors associated with CFS, including studies on immune response genes, serotonin receptor polymorphisms, and the impact of psychosocial stress on gene expression and methylation.
- Her studies utilize a variety of methodologies ranging from community engagement in genomics education to advanced molecular techniques for evaluating DNA methylation and gene expression, contributing to the broader understanding of the biological underpinnings of chronic illnesses and supporting the development of potential diagnostic markers.
