Dr. Jim Penman’s Pioneering
Work in Epigenetics
When Jim earned his PhD from La Trobe University, he quickly found that research in the area of his passion—epigenetics—would require a significant amount of money. With the success of the Jim’s Group, he was slowly able to start funding that research. Now, his team includes a full-time scholar and several graduate students at a La Trobe University lab with many academic papers published in renowned journals. Jim has written that research into his books including “Biohistory: Decline and Fall of the West.”
Dr. Penman believes that a thorough examination of epigenetics will lead to a resolution of many of societies biggest challenges, including depression and obesity.
