Dayoon Kwon

Postdoc at Stanford University

I am an epidemiologist using omics data to study how the environment shapes human health throughout the life course. 

At Stanford, I develop epigenetic biomarkers and clocks to understand how early-life environmental exposures influence aging.

My doctoral work at UCLA focused on air pollution and Parkinson's disease, examining gene-environment interactions and metabolomic profiles. I also investigated the relationship between the gut microbiome, diet, and Parkinson. 

Before UCLA, I worked at Columbia University, quantifying biological aging from blood-chemistry data.
