New Publication: Environmental Exposures and Health Risks: A Metabolomics Perspective on Exposomics Research

Our two graduate students Ana and Claire had the opportunity to write a review paper for the Annual Review of Chemistry Journal. Check it out here!

"Exposomics refers to the comprehensive analysis of environmental exposures over the lifespan and assessment of their biological effects on human health. This new frontier in environmental research promises new insights for assessment of the hazards of complex chemical exposures as compared to targeted biomonitoring of a limited panel of known toxicant(s). Metabolomics plays a pivotal role in expanding exposomic initiatives that require orthogonal separation methods coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry while using minimally invasive specimens from prospective cohort studies that can capture early life exposures. In this review, we outline new advances in metabolomic technologies for exposomics research over the past five years that are urgently needed to guide regulatory policies via better exposure mitigation and strategies to improve metabolic resilience."
