摘要：Despite considerable attention to the field of epigenetic regulation in the scientific literature and its heightened profile at scien-tific conferences and workshops, the unique connections between epigenetics and pedi-atric environmental health have not been given specific focus in public meetings. The Children's Environmental Health Network (CEHN) convened a research conference, The Contribution of Epigenetics in Pediatric Environmental Health, on 30 May–1 June 2012 in San Francisco, California, to address this increasingly important research. CEHN is a national nonprofit organization celebrating 20 years of vital work to protect the developing child from environmental hazards by promoting safer and healthier envi-ronments (CEHN 2012).
