Columbia-based investigators will discuss how to incorporate environmental exposures into studies. In addition to geospatial approaches, this symposium will explore the utility of using the exposome framework (high-resolution mass spectrometry, environmental epigenetics) to provide comprehensive analysis of complex exposure in human samples.
