Expansion of metabolomics tools to examine the exposome
In our recent publication, we demonstrate the utility of a metabolomics exposure assessment workflow to aid in the analysis of the exposome. The exposome, first proposed in 2005 as the totality of environmental exposures encountered from birth to death, was conceived to address the pressing need for innovative methodological developments in exposure assessment, to better understand the link between causality and disease. It is a highly interdisciplinary approach which requires biomonitoring for a vast variety of external and internal exposures, assessments of biological response, and bioinformatics to integrate and analyze the different kinds of datasets.
