Understanding how our social environment impacts our health is key to unlocking effective interventions that promote health and well-being. Let’s think about this in the context of what gives us joy in life: love, music, and happy memories.
By taking what we’ve learned about discovery research and hypothesis testing, Dr. Robert Wright explains how we can grapple with the millions of factors that make up our environment and the different ways they affect our health.

With the help of Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective and the board game Clue, Dr. Robert Wright explains the differences between exposomics and traditional environmental health research – and the importance of integrating them
Can a health condition or a disease be 80% genetic and 20% environmental? Can we reimagine how we understand the origins of disease?
Is it possible that your risk for disease was set when you were a baby? Evidence shows that our earliest years of life are perhaps the most important for understanding the origins of many health outcomes.
We owe an extraordinary debt to the heroes of September 11, and to their brothers and sisters who survived that day but still bear the physical and mental health effects, as well as the scars and wounds of sorrow and loss. The World Trade Center Health Program is part of how we honor that debt.
Is it possible that your risk for disease was set when you were a baby? Evidence shows that our earliest years of life are perhaps the most important for understanding the origins of many health outcomes.
Dr. Wright explains how the science of exposomics is transforming our understanding of environmental exposures on health trajectories, both for children and adults.
