项目摘要

SUMMARY Dr. Haghighi's research specialty is in medical epigenetics with applications to traumatic brain Injury (TBI), depression, and suicidal behavior. These epigenetic studies involve how genes are differentially transcribed and regulated, within human clinical and postmortem brain samples, providing a snapshot of potential transcriptional regulatory abnormalities associated with disease neuropathology. Dr. Haghighi's clinical studies show how environmental exposure affects the epigenome. Specifically, in her studies involving traumatic brain injury, she investigates how response to repeated blast-exposure induces long-term transcriptional regulatory changes resulting in symptoms of sleep disturbances, anxiety, cognitive deficits and depression and PTSD. Additionally, she investigates how the role of stress, specifically chronic stress, induces epigenetic changes associated with depression and suicide in the Veteran population.

概括 Haghighi 博士的研究专业是医学表观遗传学及其在创伤性脑损伤 (TBI) 中的应用，抑郁症和自杀行为。这些表观遗传学研究涉及基因如何差异转录并在人类临床和死后大脑样本中进行监管，提供潜在的快照与疾病神经病理学相关的转录调控异常。 Haghighi 博士的临床研究显示环境暴露如何影响表观基因组。具体来说，在她涉及脑外伤的研究中受伤后，她研究了对重复爆炸暴露的反应如何诱导长期转录调节导致睡眠障碍、焦虑、认知缺陷、抑郁和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状的变化。此外，她还研究了压力（特别是慢性压力）如何引起表观遗传变化与退伍军人群体的抑郁和自杀有关。
