Exposomics: a new omic to address the non-genetic drivers of health and disease

Join us for Grand Rounds with Dr. Gary W. Miller, PhD!

Exposomics is a new field 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.

Dr. Gary W. Miller serves as Vice Dean for Research Strategy and Innovation, Professor of Environmental Health Sciences, and Professor of Molecular Pharmacology and Therapeutics at Columbia University in New York City. He is also Director of the Center for Innovative Exposomics.

A leader in the filed of exposomics, Dr. Miller 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.

Dr. Miller 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. Dr. Miller is the founding Editor of the journal Exposome. He previously served as the Editor of Toxicological Sciences.
