Past Events - Exposome Symposium 2022 - The Institute for Exposomic Research

Health Equity and the Exposome:
Understanding the Hidden Ways Environment Drives Health

More than 160 research scientists, clinicians and trainees came together in New York City in person on July 12-13, 2022 to learn about new tools to improve exposure data collection and other new methods in the field of exposomics. The program was also live streamed to more than 100 people across the country.

The 5^th Exposome Symposium, hosted by the Mount Institute for Exposomic Research, focused on the role of exposomics in the context of health disparities research and implications for improving clinical care. With the rapid development of new methods, novel biomarkers, and new technologies, exposomics is accelerating how we understand the complexity of environmental exposures and how the body responds to them.
