Bridging Environmental Science and Precision Medicine: Insights from PEMlab@NTU's Key Research Initiatives

7/12/2024

Precision Environmental Health Sciences is an innovative approach that integrates the study of environmental exposures with genomics, biomonitoring, and advanced epidemiologic study designs to address complex health issues. At PEMlab@NTU (National Taiwan University), our research focuses on cutting-edge measurements to inform personalized interventions and population-level health strategies aimed at addressing emerging environmental risks.

In collaboration with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in Taiwan, our key projects include the Taiwan Longitudinal Cohort Study of Children and Families (TCAF), which investigates how early environmental exposures, such as microplastics, impact children's neurodevelopment using advanced exposomics tools. Another major initiative is the Taiwan Alliance for Precision Environmental Medicine (TPEM), which examines specific environmental exposures. For instance, the ExWAS-LANS project explores environmental and occupational risk factors for lung adenocarcinoma in never-smokers. Additionally, we conduct cross-generational cohort studies on aerotropolis development and the health of shipbuilders. The Taiwan Human BioMonitoring Program (THBM) collects biomonitoring data across the country to assess environmental health trends. Finally, the Taiwan Net Zero and Sustainable Health (TNSH) program evaluates the health effects of climate change, with a focus on neurological and mental health impacts, as part of a broader effort to understand the consequences of environmental changes on human health.

Our mission is to bridge environmental science and precision medicine, ultimately developing proactive and adaptive solutions for future environmental health challenges. By addressing both immediate and long-term health outcomes, PEMlab@NTU is uniquely positioned to provide insights and strategies that will safeguard future generations from the evolving and often unpredictable environmental health challenges of the modern world.
