Team Leader, Clinical Epigenetics
BSc PhD
David is an NHMRC biomedical research fellow and Team Leader of Clinical Epigenetics at Telethon Kids Institute. His research explores the links between the molecular determinants of epigenetic control and childhood health and disease. He is engaged in understanding how periconceptual exposures translate into phenotypes with enduring effects on long-term health. He has published extensively on genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of immune development and allergic disease.

Early life innate immune signatures of persistent food allergy
Early life innate immune dysfunction may represent a key immunological driver and predictor of persistent food allergy in childhood
Published research ORIGINS Food AllergyAugust 2018Epigenetic dysregulation of naive CD4+ T-cell activation genes in childhood food allergy
Our data indicate epigenetic dysregulation in the early stages of signal transduction through the T cell receptor complex, and likely reflects pathways modified by gene-environment interactions in food allergy
