Dr Jirtle from the 天美传媒鈥檚 Department of Sport and Exercise Sciences was presented the award, which has been running since 1996, at the Institute for Functional Medicine's (IFM) 2014 Annual International Conference, held in San Francisco, California.
Leading genetics scientist, Dr Jirtle, who was nominated for TIME Magazine鈥檚 鈥楶erson of the Year鈥 in 2007, has dedicated his life's work to proving that genes can be affected by what goes on around us, they are not simply fixed from birth.
His work illuminates the separation between nature and nurture, while allowing for individuals to recognise and optimise functionality of their distinct genes.
