Poverty, Biology, and Health: Will the Circle Be Unbroken?
(VTC)
Drs. Sharon and Craig Ramey, professors and distinguished research scholars at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute, will present two seminars as part of the Fourth Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Week Seminars.The Rameys knew Dr. King and have been highly involved nationally in promoting and addressing issues of health disparities and race in the United States.
Drs. Ramey will present recent findings from their research on the intergenerational and
lifelong effects of impoverished environments, and the extent to which systematic, theory-driven interventions
can improve health outcomes. The Rameys will also discuss the search for biological and behavioral mechanisms
responsible for perpetuating, as well as altering, the negative effects of poverty.
