Exposomics

GRAND ROUNDS

Exposomics is a new field that is designed to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the non-genetic drivers of human disease. Genetic scan only explain a minority of chronic human diseases and does not provide insight into health disparities. In contrast, our complex environment is responsible for a wide range of human diseases and disparate outcomes.

He is also Director of the Center for Innovative Exposomics. Dr. Miller has been a leader in the field of exposomics, which studies the comprehensive and cumulative effects of physical, chemical, biological, and psychosocial mediators that impact biological systems. He has helped develop high-resolution mass spectrometry methods to provide an omic scale analysis of the human exposome. He serves on the advisory panel to the National Institutes of Health All of Us Research Program and on the National Environmental Health Sciences Advisory Council.
