Welcome to Alternatively Speaking, a KCSA Podcast Labs production. In our debut season, we’re diving into a revolutionary concept in health span, longevity, and healthcare.
Today, we sat down with Dr. Moshe Szyf, a pioneering figure in the field of epigenetics with a career spanning over three and a half decades. A founding figure in behavioral and psychiatric epigenetics, Dr. Szyf has authored over 300 influential papers that have significantly contributed to our understanding of how environmental factors and behaviors can influence gene expression without altering the DNA sequence itself.
Dr. Szyf serves as Chairman, CEO, and Chief Scientific Officer of HKG Epitherapeutics, focusing on developing epigenetic tools for clinical medicine, early disease detection, and personalized healthcare. He also currently holds the prestigious position of James McGill Professor of Pharmacology and Therapeutics at McGill University in Montreal, where he also holds the GlaxoSmithKline Chair in Pharmacology.
Dr. Szyf is a sought-after speaker, having presented at the Nobel Forum and delivered a TED talk on DNA and early life experiences. His work bridges academic research and practical applications, aiming to translate epigenetic insights into tangible health benefits for society.
