Section outline

    • In this session we will discuss how all environmental exposures could be integrated in the concept of the "exposome". We will discuss ways they we can model and measure the exposome, how we can design exposome-wide association studies, the use of biosensors and wearables and the significance of the ditigal twins.

    • In this journal club we will discuss this paper: The ethical aspects of exposome research: a systematic review https://academic.oup.com/exposome/article/3/1/osad004/7115840. We will look into different ethical aspects that might arise when we analyse the totality of environmental exposures and their corresponding biological responses within the human body. We will also discuss aspects of leveraging results of the exposome research to inform public guidelines and what is the best way to safeguard individuals' personal data.
