Exposomics & Public Health

Mount Sinai Podcast Network Episode 6

In this podcast, guest host Raja Flores, MD, interviews Rosalind J. Wright, MD, MPH, and Robert O. Wright, MD, MPH about the field of exposomics. Exposomics studies the impact of environmental factors on health, going beyond genetics to understand how exposures from conception to the present day affect well-being. They discuss how data like air quality, diet, and stress levels, combined with advanced computational analysis, can provide insights into disease development and prevention. The discussion highlights the importance of mapping environmental exposures and leveraging technology to improve health outcomes.
