Exploring the exposures that matter.

We support and promote research into environmental exposures and their impact on health across Africa, from the air we breathe and the food we eat to occupational and climate-related risks.
Researchers collaborating on environmental samples in a laboratory

Air Pollution

Understanding how air quality affects health across African communities.

Food & Chemical Exposures

Examining dietary, agricultural and chemical exposures across the food system.
Areas of interest include food contaminants and adulterants, agrochemicals and endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

Heavy Metals & Mycotoxins

Investigating environmental contaminants and their health impacts.

Plastics & Endocrine Disruptors

Assessing exposure to plastics and chemicals that affect hormones and health.

Occupational Health

Exploring workplace exposures and their effects on workers and communities.

Climate & Health

Understanding how a changing climate influences environmental exposures and health.

Exposome Science

The exposome describes the totality of environmental influences experienced throughout life. Our interests span environmental drivers of chronic disease, neurological and mental health, and the ways exposures accumulate across the life course.
