Hi all, I just published a story on how exposomics is the key to precision medicine in Nature, so wanted to share since it was a long-incubating story idea that stemmed from my fellowship reporting:) https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-02958-8

Is exposomics the key to making personalized medicine a reality?

Scientists say tailored disease treatments require a comprehensive assessment of a person’s lifelong environmental exposures.
