SUMMARY:CANCELED: Biological Mediators and Moderators of Social Disadvantage
DESCRIPTION:This seminar has been cancelled due to weather. \nOn Friday\, September 14\, Colter Mitchell\, PhD will present Biological Mediators and Moderators of Social Disadvantage as part of the Carolina Population Center 2018-2019 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nMitchell is Research Assistant Professor of the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and is a Faculty Associate of the University of Michigan Population Studies Center. \nMitchell is hosted by Carolina Population Center Fellow Guang Guo. Guo is Dr. George and Alice Welsh Distinguished Professor of Sociology. Guo is a CPC Training Program Alum: he was a Postdoctoral Fellow from 1991-1993. \nProfessor Mitchell is part of an NIH initiative to explore social epigenomics related to health disparities. \nFriday\, Sept. 14\n12-1\nCarolina Square Room 2002\n123 West Franklin Street \nLocation information is here. \nPRESENTATION ABSTRACT \nMeasures of social disadvantage such as poverty\, parental incarceration\, and family instability have well documented health and behavioral consequences for children\, which can even reach into adulthood. Social disadvantage likely operates through both social and biological mechanisms; however\, only in the last decade and a half have we seen a rapid increase in the integration of social science and biology. I investigate biological correlates of social disadvantage using the Fragile Family and Child Wellbeing Study (n=4898)\, a population-based sample of children born in hospitals in 20 cities in the US. Families have been studied at birth and ages 1\,3\,5\,9\, and 15\, with additions of genetic\, epigenetic\, and neuroimaging data collected more recently. Due to the study design the sample is racially and ethnically diverse and has lower SES levels than most large national studies- making it exceptionally rare within biosocial research. Of particular interest here are the correlations with genomic (polygenic scores\, and changes in epigenetic profiles and telomere length) and functional and structural neuroimaging measures with the effect of cumulative disadvantage and timing of social disadvantage.   \nResearch project: “Epigenetic Mediation of Adverse Social Context on Stress Response\, Socioemotional Development\, and Health in a Population-based Study of Minority and Low SES Children and Adolescents” \nSelected publications \n    Instructors: To arrange for class attendance\, contact Kate Allison (akalliso@email.unc.edu) by the Monday before the seminar \n    Streaming may be available and must be arranged at least one week in advance. \nThis seminar is part of the Carolina Population Center’s Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series.
