The University received a $400,000 state grant to study how poverty, diet, and environmental factors contribute to childhood obesity among Mexican American youth. Led by Dr. Ravindranath Duggirala and Dr. Srinivas Mummidi, the project will analyze DNA methylation to reveal how social and environmental conditions influence gene activity and long-term health risks.
