Deciphering the Chemical Exposome with hair analysis to understand the role of exposure as a preventable determinant of cancer

The project will set up the first database of pollutant concentration values in hair from samples collected around the world. This will help understand the specificities of the chemical exposome in the local population, identify critical exposure situations, and provide information to reduce exposure, with the ultimate goal of revealing non-genetic causes of cancer and supporting preventive strategies.

The work of the PhD candidate is supported by the Télévie initiative.
