She is part of a team of researchers investigating disaster resilience and long term health impacts on Alberta families.In this case, the 2013 High River Flood. One aspect of her study is looking at changes in children&#8217;s DNA because of adverse reactions to the disaster.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DR. DAWN KINGSTON:<\/strong> <em>And the part where we&#8217;re getting the genetic information and the stress hormone is coming from the children providing saliva samples. \u00a0So we&#8217;re getting the children to spit for us. \u00a0So once we get the samples, they come into a lab in Calgary. \u00a0And then we extract the DNA from them and the RNA. \u00a0We&#8217;ve got another separate kit \u00a0that will be analyzed for stress hormones and stress chemicals. \u00a0So is there a relationship between early adversity and what we&#8217;re seeing in certain children&#8217;s DNA who have been exposed to adversity and those haven&#8217;t.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Dr Dawn Kingston hopes the study will\u00a0highlight potential markers for children\u00a0at risk, and help mitigate problems thatarise at school, for example.<span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><br style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 14px;\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks today to <strong>ALBERTA INNOVATES<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Learn more at<strong> INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;M CHERYL CROUCHER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/ian logo AI LOGO_COLOUR.jpg\" width=\"229\" height=\"29\" \/><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-2230\" data-postid=\"2230\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-2230 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Dawn Kingston&#8217;s team is analyzing children&#8217;s DNA as part of study on disaster resilience after the 2013 High River flood. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">(Alberta Innovates)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5571,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64,2,17,27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alberta-innovates","category-health-and-medicine","category-social-sciences","category-women-in-science","has-post-title","has-post-date","has-post-category","has-post-tag","has-post-comment","has-post-author",""],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/870DrDawnKingston.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2230"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2230\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5705,"href":"http:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2230\/revisions\/5705"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
