Banbury Conference

The genesis of the Banbury Conference on exposomics occurred from interactions between Tom Maniatis, a longtime Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory faculty member, now Director of Columbia University’s Precision Medicine Initiative, and Gary Miller, a leading proponent of exposomics. They had worked together to host a couple of exposome-related events at Columbia. Tom suggested to Gary that he host a meeting at the Banbury Center focused on the exposome and its importance in human health. A few conversations later and with the collaboration of Dr. Rebecca Leshan, Executive Director of the Banbury Center, a Banbury Conference entitled “Integrating Exposomics into the Biomedical Enterprise” was scheduled for December 3 – 6, 2023. A manuscript summarizing the recommendations is in process.
