How do we measure the invisible factors that shape health throughout our lives?
The answer lies at the intersection of exposomics, multimodal biosensing, artificial intelligence, and precision health—and this is exactly what you'll explore at our inaugural Mapping the Invisible: Exposomics, Biosensing, and the Future of Health Seasonal School.
Designed for researchers, clinicians, biomedical engineers, and data scientists, this immersive one-week program brings together internationally recognized experts to explore the next frontier of health research. Discover how wearable and ambient sensors, multi-omics technologies, geospatial data, and AI are transforming our ability to measure exposures, understand disease mechanisms, and develop predictive, personalized health solutions.
Throughout the week, participants will gain practical insight into designing exposomics studies, selecting and deploying biosensors, integrating and analyzing complex multidimensional (exposomics) datasets, and applying machine learning and digital twins to interpret these data and answer challenging biomedical questions. Interactive demonstrations and real-world case studies will provide a comprehensive understanding of the complete exposomics workflow—from data collection to actionable health intelligence.
Take Your Skills Further with Advanced Bootcamp Sessions
Looking for deeper technical training? Register for one or more of our exclusive in-person Bootcamp Sessions, where participants will work alongside experts in small-group, intensive workshops focused on:
- Building robust exposome data pipelines
- AI and machine learning for exposomics
- Clinical and public health data integration and interpretation
Full agenda can be found here.
Enrollment is limited to only 30 participants per bootcamp to ensure personalized instruction and extensive hands-on learning. Admission is competitive and requires a CV and a brief description of your current research interests.

Future Leaders in Exposomics Fellowship
We are pleased to offer a limited number of "Future Leaders in Exposomics Fellowship" to support outstanding trainees attending the Mapping the Invisible: Exposomics, Biosensing, and the Future of Health Seasonal School.
The fellowship is designed to encourage participation from graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career investigators who are interested in advancing their expertise in exposomics, multimodal biosensing, and data-driven health research. Students will receive priority consideration during the selection process.
Fellowship recipients will receive a waiver of the seasonal school registration fee. Additional travel support may be available depending on funding availability.
To be considered, applicants must:
- Be enrolled in or have recently completed a graduate or professional degree program (M.S., Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent), or be an early-career investigator.
- Demonstrate a strong interest in exposomics, biosensing, AI, multi-omics, biomedical engineering, data science, clinical research, or a related field.
- Submit a brief statement (maximum 300 words) describing how participation in the summer school will advance their research, career goals, or future contributions to the field.
Applications will be reviewed by the Organizing Committee based on the applicant's scientific interests, motivation, and potential to benefit from the program. Fellowship awards are competitive, and the number of recipients is limited. Please email a CV and a brief description of your current research interests to [email protected] with the subject line: "Future Leaders in Exposomics Fellowship – Mapping the Invisible 2026"
We strongly encourage students and early-career researchers from diverse disciplines to apply and join the next generation of scientists advancing the future of exposomics and precision health.
Call for Poster Abstracts
We invite students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career investigators to showcase their research during the Poster Session at Mapping the Invisible: Exposomics, Biosensing, and the Future of Health.
The poster session provides an excellent opportunity to present ongoing or recently completed research, receive feedback from leading experts, and network with fellow researchers working at the intersection of exposomics, biosensing, artificial intelligence, multi-omics, digital health, and precision medicine.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Exposomics and exposure science
- Wearable and ambient biosensors
- Multi-omics and systems biology
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning
- Digital twins and computational modeling
- Environmental and occupational health
- Precision medicine and digital health
- Biomedical engineering and sensing technologies
Abstract Submission
Participants interested in presenting a poster should submit:
- A title
- Author(s) and affiliation(s)
- An abstract (maximum 300 words)
- Presenting author's contact information
Please email your abstract in PDF or Word format to [email protected] with the subject line:
Poster Abstract Submission – Mapping the Invisible 2026
Poster abstract submission is optional and is independent of registration. However, all presenting authors must be registered for the Seasonal School.
Submission Deadline: Aug 15, 2026
Accepted presenters will be notified by email and will receive additional information regarding poster dimensions, setup, and presentation logistics
