You are cordially invited to the TEFAF Symposium ‘The Exposome and Cancer Prevention’ and Prof. dr. Wild’s inaugural lecture “Two-way” translational cancer research; an impetus for prevention, early detection and treatment.

The exposome concept refers to the totality of environmental exposures from preconception onwards, and is a novel approach to studying the role of gene-environment interactions in the development of human disease.
During the symposium it will be discussed how ‘omic’ techniques can be used in life-course epidemiology to better understand the impact of environmental exposures on the development of cancer and other chronic diseases.
Challenges related to analysis of the large and complex data sets generated by these studies as well as the translation of the outcome into cancer prevention strategies will be addressed.
