分会内容: | Environmental exposures shape human development and affect public health. It has been estimated that a substantial portion of chronic non-communicable diseases can be caused or exacerbated by exposure to environmental factors. Epigenetic changes could represent an important pathway by which environmental factors influence disease risks, both within and across generations. Epigenetic marks may arise from environmental exposures that in turn interact with the genotype to produce changes in gene expression. Over the past decades, the application of omics to environmental health research results in the production of large data sets on gene expression, transcription factors, proteins, metabolites, adducts and epigenetic regulation of the genome in relation to environmental exposures. By providing information on changes in critical cellular components under the influence of environmental factors, omics profiling greatly facilitates the discovery of biomarkers and helps identify toxicity pathways or adverse outcome pathways. This session, therefore, welcomes research on various aspects of environmental epigenetic and omics. It is hoped that the session will attract researchers from across the globe to share insights on the novel developments and applications of these technologies. Data presented will improve our understanding of the mechanisms of toxicity and lead to valuable new knowledge for environmental health research. | ||
