The Pursuit of Precision – The Science Advancing Individualized Medicine

Exposomics and Health Risk Assessment

In the inaugural podcast episode host Cathy Wurzer, a broadcast journalist from Minnesota Public Radio, talks with two experts in this new frontier of medicine. The exposome looks at everything a person has been exposed to in their lifetime — chemicals, pollution, radiation, biological agents, nutrients in food and measures those exposures to identify biological pathways in the body and how they trigger disease. Experts expand on the exposome, its history, its relation to disease development in the U.S. and Europe, and the potential to use the exposome framework to improve population health.

Panelists are:
Konstantinos Lazaridis, M.D., the Carlson and Nelson Endowed Executive Director for Mayo Clinic’s Center for Individualized Medicine
Paolo Vineis, Ph.D., chair of environmental epidemiology at Imperial College London
