“The Exposome as a Framework to Understand Variability in (Mental) Health and Related Disparities”
Ran Barzilay, M.D., Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry
University of Pennsylvania
The exposome encompasses the totality of environmental exposures throughout an individual’s lifespan, from conception onward. Integrating exposomic data with other -omic platforms (e.g., genomics, metabolomics) unlocks unprecedented opportunities for precision medicine, enabling personalized exposure profiling, advanced risk stratification, and informed intervention and policy development. This presentation will outline the incorporation of an exposome framework into research, transcending traditional exposure assessment approaches. We will explore innovative methods for quantifying the exposome and demonstrate how diverse exposomic approaches can address critical research questions on environmental influences on health outcomes, with a particular emphasis on health disparities.
