Exposomics as a field has recently gained enormous momentum with numerous global and regional efforts underway to holistically understand multi-pathway exposures to mixtures of hazards through pooled analyses of long-term-cohort studies. In India, there is now an increasing pool of environmental health focused cohort studies, biorepositories and a wealth of past studies on metabolic and socio-behavioral determinants of human health. It is important to coalesce these efforts both within the country and South Asia to allow regional and Global Human Exposomics initiatives to mutually benefit from the nuanced insights our region can offer.
Therefore, in collaboration with Global Exposome Forum (https://globalexposomeforum.org/about/), we are organising the first event with an India focus bringing together both Global leaders in Exposomics and high-level scientists / clinical researchers / policy makers from India to deliberate the role of Exposomics as a determinant of Lifecourse Human Health and Ageing towards building a healthy and developed India.
