At the inaugural Exposome Moonshot Forum, NEXUS had the opportunity to connect with diverse stakeholders from industry, academia, and government to discuss the future of the Human Exposome along with key insights from the conference. This forum provided a great opportunity for NEXUS to continue furthering its discussions with existing collaborators and form new connections with members of the exposomics field.
Over the course of the three day conference, NEXUS had many important and impactful conversations, and was grateful for the opportunity to record a selection. These conversations highlighted the wide range of global participation that greatly enriched the discussions throughout the meeting.
The Exposome Moonshot Forum took place in Washington, D.C., from May 12-15 2025, and was hosted at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center by Fenna Sillé, Ph.D., and Thomas Hartung, M.D., Ph.D., and organized with input from an international Organizing Committee - ( see list of committee members).
