Dayoon Kwon

Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University

I am an environmental epidemiologist studying how the environment influences disease development using multi-omics data. 

At Stanford, I develop epigenetic biomarkers and clocks to better understand how early-life environmental exposures impact long-term health.

My doctoral work at UCLA examined air pollution and Parkinson's disease, exploring 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 using DNA methylation and blood-chemistry data.
