Can we prove that someone has been exposed to certain chemicals that have affected their health?
In his contribution to the HEAP symposium highlights series, Michael Snyder, Director of the Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine at Stanford University, presents his research into individualized environmental exposures.
The research compared thousands of chemical and biological components from wearable sensors with thousands of internal biomolecules from biological samples. The research found a strong presence of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides and fungi in the samples, and a link between these and affected biomolecules and pathways in the individual’s immune system, kidneys, and liver.
