The Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing, Columbia University's Network for Exposomics in the US, EIRENE RI and several partners organize the unique event of Exposome Moonshot Forum, which has been made possible with seed funding and logistical support from Johns Hopkins University Nexus Award.
The Exposome Moonshot Forum is multi-stakeholder forum plotting the future of the Human Exposome. The inaugural Exposome Moonshot Forum aims to gather these diverse stakeholders to collaboratively translate the exposome from concept to utility.
The event will take place May 12th to 15th in Washington, DC. At this highly participatory, impact-driven, multi-national stakeholder forum the foundation for the Human Exposome Project — a groundbreaking initiative that, like its counterpart the Human Genome Project, , will be laid to transform public health at the global scale.
At the Exposome Moonshot Forum the challenges, opportunities and solutions surrounding technical analytics, AI integrations, data protection and global governance to build an effective and ethically informed launchpad for the Human Exposome Project will be considered.
The Exposome holds the key to understanding why, how and when people develop diseases. This new Moonshot will revolutionize the way we understand and address Public Health challenges and drive humanity forward.
RECETOX and EIRENE RI will be represented in Washington by the Center's Director, Prof. Jana Klánová and Dr. Elliott Price. Other representatives of EIRENE RI, which is one of the key players in exposome research, will include Robert Barouki (France), Roel Vermeulen (Netherlands), Benedikt Warth (Austria), Anna Karman and Jonathan Martin (Sweden), Pawel Rostkowski (Norway) and Gary Miller (USA).

Written by Gary W. Miller and the Banbury Exposomics Consortium and published in Science, this article explores how studying lifetime environmental exposures—known as exposomics—can transform biomedical research and improve public health.
Following the meeting of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI), which took place on March 31 - April 1, 2025, at the Masaryk University Campus Library in Brno, the EIRENE research infrastructure consortium also held a meeting. Over the two-day program, more than twenty representatives of national nodes from across Europe gathered to discuss the progress and developments achieved during the preparatory phase of EIRENE.
