Genomics Meets Exposomics: Advancing Gene by Environment Science

The goal of this meeting is to develop a strategic plan for the advancement of gene by environment studies to better understand human disease. Advances in sequencing technologies have revealed countless discoveries of the genetic drivers of human disease, but for most chronic disease genetics can only account for a portion of the variability. A broad range of environmental factors are known to contribute to human disease. Recent advances in exposomics which is designed to systematically analyze the physical, chemical, biological, and social factors that influence disease, now position the research community to systematically perform gene by environment experiments.
