Discussion meeting organised by Professor Judith Allen FMedSci FRS and Professor Dame Fiona Powrie DBE FMedSci FRS
Exposure to environmental challenges such as pollutants and infections (collectively the exposome) interact with our genes to cause and exacerbate chronic inflammatory diseases. However, we do not understand how the immune system at barrier surfaces decodes environmental drivers of disease. By bringing together immunologists with environmental scientists we aim to drive new solutions to the global crisis of chronic disease.
