The ExposUM Institute is an initiative of the University of Montpellier and its partners aimed at establishing an open, off-campus institute of reference for the study, training, and science-society interaction of the environmental determinants of human health. Winner of the ExcellenceS (PIA4) call for projects and supported by the Occitanie Region, ExposUM is funded to the tune of €46.4 million over the period 2022-2030. The exposome corresponds to all lifetime exposures to environmental and social factors whose specific effects, combined with the intrinsic characteristics of individuals, underlie health and the onset, progression, and severity of infectious and non-communicable human diseases. In this sense, it is the environmental counterpart of the genome, with which it interacts throughout an individual's lifetime.
