Epigenesis Corporation is dedicated to promoting the general health and wellness of all people in the world through advocacy, education, research, and service. We are the first global organization established to capture, curate and disseminate academic, scientific and user-friendly research and applications in the new science of epigenetics with an emphasis on cognitive decline.  Epigenesis is poised to present a behaviorally based protocol that integrates research around nutrition, exercise, brain/mind, emotion, environment, and spirit.  Valid and reliable tests are available on this website. 

INTRODUCING OUR TEAM

Barry K. Spiker, Ph.D., FOUNDER of Epigenesis – Barry is the Founder, CEO and visionary leader for Epigenesis Corporation and EpigenesisCorp.com, its website. EpigenesisCorp.com aggregates, curates and disseminates scientific research regarding the science and application of epigenetics. Barry is an educator, teacher, innovator, and management consultant. He completed his Bachelor’s degree in General Studies from the Honors Tutorial College at Ohio University (summa cum laude) in 1972, a Masters in Arts from the Graduate College, Ohio University in 1973 and his Ph.D. from the School of Interpersonal Communication at Ohio University in 1979. In addition, Barry has completed post-doctoral studies at Harvard, MIT, Columbia, the University of Michigan and the University of Southern California. Barry has been a college professor and most recently directed dissertations for Northcentral University students. (Barry was recently cited in NCU’s Higher Degrees, Fall 2015 issue).

For over 20 years he was a senior executive in three of the world’s most prestigious management consulting firms with a heavy emphasis on the health-care and biotechnology sectors. Barry has authored and co-authored over 100 publications in trade and academic journals and has been invited to write for several trade publications such as Reuters, Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Business Week, Boston Globe and AARP Magazine. In addition, he has co-authored 5 bestselling books in Organizational Communication. Barry’s personal story as to how he came to work in the emerging science of epigenetics is profiled elsewhere in this website (see Dianne Price’s article on epigenetics). For nearly 5 years, he has consulted with leading authorities around the world and written extensively regarding the new science of epigenetics. He has come to understand epigenetics as a trans-disciplinary field that incorporates holistically the body, mind, spirit, environment, and emotion. Barry believes that this balance can lead to mitigating disease and disorders and lead all life into a place of abundance, happiness, health, and well-being. He currently is directing research in epigenetics focusing on dementia, autism, stress mitigation and the epigenetics of aging.

The epigenetic work has informed his current project which offers a behavioral, non-invasive, evidenced-based, protocol for dementia.
