Description
The Exposome: A Primer by Gary W Miller provides a systematic introduction to this emerging field of study. It explores how genetic and environmental factors influence complex diseases, and how measuring the effects of life-long environmental exposures can complement genomic approaches. This book offers a rigorous yet readable overview of topics such as managing and integrating exposome data, "-omics"-based technologies, and more. It is an essential resource for students and scientists in disciplines including toxicology, environmental health, epidemiology, and public health. By addressing the need for a systematic way to measure environmental exposures, The Exposome: A Primer aims to advance our understanding of human disease and its relationship with the environment.
