Please join us for our monthly meeting on September 16th, 12 pm EST. Our featured speaker is Jeremy Koelmel, an Associate Research Scientist in Epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, who will present on “Non-Targeted Analysis in Exposomics: Global Perspectives from the NEXUS International Survey.”
Abstract: In this presentation, we will discuss the essential role of non-targeted analysis in exposomics, and assess the multi-omics landscape of measurement science covering: lipidomics, metabolomics, xenobiotics, adductomics, and other approaches. Results are based on a survey conducted with over 150 participants (including a large presence of BP4NTA members!) and consisting of over 200 questions, giving both high-level and granular information pertaining to multi-omics analysis. Results we will cover include the types of matrices analyzed, instrumentation and software used, and chemical coverage. Community strategies in sample preparation, acquisition, and data-processing methods will also be discussed. Beyond the survey we will also discuss other Network for EXposomics in the U.S. (NEXUS) initiatives including the development of training materials for non-targeted analysis and exposomics and a user-friendly platform for processing non-targeted analysis data. NEXUS is a U24 Center for Exposome Research Coordination. NEXUS serves the broad biomedical research community by coordinating and advancing exposome research. The Center engages existing and ongoing exposome initiatives around the globe to promote methodological advancement and best practices, provide training and education, and foster national and international collaborations.
