I hope this piece sparks new conversations around bi-parental preconception care and inspires others to explore the sperm epigenome's effects on placenta, pregnancy, and seize an opportunity for improving intergenerational health
outcomes.
To make these connections tangible, we also built ShinySpermPlacenta 💻
An interactive app based on high-fat diet mouse models sperm epigenomes + IMPC data.

In this review, we bring together the latest evidence showing how a father’s nutrition, through the sperm epigenome, can influence:
🌳 The placenta
🤰 Pregnancy outcomes
👶 Long-term metabolic health of the next generation
🚨 New Review Out 🚨
Thrilled to share our latest review in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research:
“Dad’s Diet Shapes the Future: How Paternal Nutrition Impacts Placental Development and Childhood Metabolic Health”
