The international Exposome conference, as part of the Exposome Booster Program coordinated by Inserm, will bring together researchers to discuss scientific advances and future directions in exposome research. The exposome is defined as the totality of environmental exposures an individual experiences throughout their life, from conception to death.
This event will highlight the work conducted in France, the contributions of the Exposome Booster Program of Inserm, and the emerging collaborations it may foster. The morning will feature introductory lectures on exposome research, followed by concrete examples of projects conducted in France. The afternoon will focus on presenting the Booster Program and its core projects, and will conclude with a roundtable discussion on future challenges and opportunities for exposome research in France and Europe.
