Explore the critical intersection of genomics and exposomics in this 34-minute lecture from the Medical and Population Genetics Primer series. Learn from Assistant Professor Peng Gao of Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health as he explains why understanding environmental exposures is essential for solving complex genetic puzzles in human health and disease. Discover how exposomics - the comprehensive study of environmental exposures throughout a person's lifetime - complements genomic research to provide a more complete picture of disease mechanisms and population health patterns. Gain insights into the fundamental principles of how genetic variation interacts with environmental factors, and understand why integrating both genomic and exposomic data is crucial for advancing precision medicine and public health initiatives. This presentation is part of the Broad Institute's weekly primer series designed to provide in-depth introductions to complex trait genetics for research technicians, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and investigators entering the field of medical and population genetics.
