Mapping Exposure-Induced Immune Effects: Connecting the Exposome and the Immunome
About
Immune-mediated, non-communicable diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, allergic diseases and asthma, are chronic disorders in which the immune system plays a pivotal role. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has highlighted the seriousness of autoimmunity and its association with exposure to the environment.
EXIMIOUS aims to deliver a new way of assessing the human exposome, i.e. the exposures to environmental factors that one experiences throughout life, and shed light on its association to immune-mediated diseases.
Partners
EXIMIOUS is part of the European Human Exposome Network and brings together 15 partner organisations from 7 European countries.

New EXIMIOUS Exposome tool and sub-tools now available
Tools for comprehensive exposure assessment developed by EXIMIOUS. The EXIMIOUS project has published its newest innovation: the EXIMIOUS Exposome Tool, a robust set of open-access resources to support accurate and holistic exposure assessments. These tools were developed to fill the gap in standardised methods for assessing the exposome—the totality of environmental and occupational exposures an
New EXIMIOUS Tool: Raman Spectra Reference Library for Microplastics
Supporting environmental and human exposure studies with an open-access Raman database. The EXIMIOUS project has released a powerful new tool to accelerate research on microplastic pollution: a curated open-access Raman Spectra Reference Library. This digital resource compiles high-quality Raman spectra from a diverse range of microplastic materials, enabling more accurate identification and classification of polymers
