Banbury Consortium

What is the Consortium?

The Banbury Exposomics Consortium is a team of 23 interdisciplinary scientists who convened at the Banbury Center at Cold Springs Harbor Laboratory in December of 2023 in an effort to advance the field of exposomics and to further the understanding of the environmental contributors to human disease and health. Over the following several months, the consortium members prepared a manuscript that highlighted the results of the Banbury meeting.

The overarching purpose and objectives of the three day meeting was

1. developing an operational definition for exposomics that would ground the field
2. identifying the components of the biomedical enterprise that would benefit most from exposomics, and
3. outlining the major challenges a bonafide field of exposomics would need to tackle to advance our understanding of the environmental contributors to human health and disease.

This Banbury Conference fostered meaningful scientific exchanges and creative collaboration among a diverse team of professionals. This led to a successful meeting and a paper that should help guide future research in the field.
