Human Exposome Project

Business for Health supports regional testbed projects connected to the Global Exposome Project which met for the first time in Washington DC 12-15 May 2025 to launch an unprecedented international scientific endeavour to map the combined impact of environmental factors that impact human health from conception to death.

The Human Exposome Project represents a transformative approach to understanding how environmental exposures impact human health throughout the lifespan. Offering a compliment to the Human Genome Project, this ambitious initiative aims to systematically map the totality of environmental exposures and their effects on human biology.  

Tina Woods sits on the Steering Committee and is leading global partnership development for regional testbeds to understand how external exposures (including social, behavioural and geo-physical factors) and their interaction with internal factors (such as genetics and physiology), affect an individual’s health and overall resilience. 

This knowledge will help us design better solutions to create environments that enhance human health outcomes to address the global health and economic crises caused by the chronic disease epidemic and ageing demographic.
