Guide to the Exposome

In this comprehensive guide, you will learn about the exposome, how metabolomics has been pivotal in advancing this field of research, and how we at Metabolon can help you generate highly meaningful data from exposome studies despite several challenges and complexities inherent to the field.

The exposome refers to the collection of environmental exposures and associated biological responses that impact health across one’s lifetime. Metabolomics has become a vital tool in advancing our understanding of these complex cause-and-effect relationships across a spectrum of multiple exposures at varying degrees throughout the lifespan. In this guide, we discuss the current state of exposome research. We explore its inherent complexity and associated challenges, but also solutions to those challenges, as well as recent examples showing how metabolomics has bolstered exposome research findings, helped shape policy decisions, and advanced precision medicine initiatives.

This guide is intended to provide a comprehensive examination of the exposome and show how metabolomics can help generate highly meaningful findings in this field of research.
