Roles
Dr. Frost is currently as a postdoctoral fellow in the Kane lab. She is studying epigenetic patterns, including DNA methylation and histone modifications, and their relationship with frailty and sex differences in aging. This builds upon her thesis work completed in the Heinrich Lab at the University of California, Riverside, which was rooted in unraveling the complexities of high-altitude hypoxia’s phenotypic plasticity. Including delving into ventilatory acclimatization and its implications on sleep quality and cognitive function among sojourners. However, the crux of her research was in analyzing epigenetic patterns, including DNA methylation and histone modifications, during human exposure to high altitude acclimatization, adaptation, and evolution.
