Research

We can’t (easily) change our genes, but if we are serious about the prevention of diseases, we need to know the modifiable part – that is, the environmental factors.

Professor Roel Vermeulen
Professor of Environmental Epidemiology and Exposome Science

Measuring and analysing the exposome is a complex undertaking. We coordinate several large-schale exposome research projects, financed by NWO and the European Union. We collaborate with scientists from different disciplines such as epidemiologists, geographers, sociologists, chemists, biomedics and ethicists.
