Zachary Kaminsky

Zachary Kaminsky is a psychiatric epigenetics researcher who studies chemical modifications of DNA to predict mental illnesses like postpartum depression and suicide. His team identified genes that predicted with 85 percent certainty which women would develop postpartum depression, and discovered epigenetic markers in suicide victims' brains.
