Many chronic diseases are now believed to be due to a combination of an individual’s genome and their cumulative environmental exposure. Exposome, analogous to genome, is a bold
conceptual leap, seeking to bridge the roles of the environment and genome in human disease. The University of Toronto just signed a tripartite agreement with Utrecht University and the
Chinese University of Hong Kong; a focus will be collaboration on exposomics research. This event will serve as UofT’s launch for this initiative. The talks will introduce the exposome,
identify related research needs and challenges, and provide ongoing and proposed initiatives in Canada and abroad.
Moderator: Paul Demers, Cancer Care Ontario and DLSPH
Seminar speaker: Dr. Roel Vermeulen, Utrecht University
Panel members:
- Dr. Howard Hu, Dean, DLSPH
- Dr. Jeff Brook, Environment and Climate Change Canada and DLSPH
- Dr. Greg Evans, Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry and DLSPH
Dr. Shawn C. Owen from the University of Utah’s Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry will be giving a talk entitled, Building superior biologics: Enhancing ADCs, resurrecting ADEPT and replacing ELISA. The talk will take place in the Rosebrugh Building, Room 208 from 1-2pm on Tuesday, May 24. For more information, click here.
Exclusive to ChemE alumni from the honoured class years. A nice casual lunch will be served in the undergrad common room (WB238) with tours of ChemE labs to follow. To register visit, springreunion.utoronto.ca
