Erica Watson

Erica Watson is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. Her research focuses on transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, developmental phenotypes, folate metabolism, epigenetics, and gene regulation. She investigates the mechanisms underlying the transgenerational epigenetic effects of folate metabolism during fetal and placental development. Watson's work integrates genomic sequencing, transcriptome analysis, imaging, and cell culture techniques. Her research areas include clinical epidemiology and clinical/medical genetics, with potential for collaboration in these fields.

Erica D Watson is an Associate Professor at the University of Cambridge, specializing in transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, folate metabolism, and developmental biology. Her research explores how disruptions in folate metabolism can lead to epigenetic instability and transgenerational effects on development. She investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying placental morphogenesis, including the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in pregnancy outcomes. Watson's work also examines the impact of prenatal nutrition on disease risk transmission across generations, using both animal and human studies. Her research provides insights into the genetic and metabolic basis of developmental disorders and their intergenerational consequences.
