Genetic and epigenetic biomarkers in human biomonitoring
Chemical risk assessment can benefit from integrating informative biomarkers in human biomonitoring (HBM). Beyond exposure biomarkers, effect biomarkers inform on biological reactions in the body, potentially leading to adverse effects, while susceptibility biomarkers address inter-individual variability in exposure. DNA methylation of key genes shows promise as an effect biomarker but this epigenetic mark remains underexplored in the context of …
The potential of including the microbiome as biomarker in population-based health studies
The key role of our microbiome in influencing our health status, and its relationship with our environment and lifestyle or health behaviors, have been shown in the last decades. Therefore, the human microbiome has the potential to act as a biomarker or indicator of health or exposure to health risks in the general population, if information on the microbiome can be collected in population-based health surveys or cohorts. It could then be associa…
Assessment of the Feasibility of a Future Integrated Larger-Scale Epidemiological Study to Evaluate Health Risks of Air Pollution Episodes in Children
Air pollution exposure can lead to exacerbation of respiratory disorders in children. Using sensitive biomarkers helps to assess the impact of air pollution on children's respiratory health and combining protein, genetic and epigenetic biomarkers gives insights on their interrelatedness. Most studies do not contain such an integrated approach and investigate these biomarkers individually in blood, although its collection in children is challengin…
Perceived utility and feasibility of pathogen genomics for public health practice
Belgian health professionals expressed favorable views about implementation of pathogen genomics in their work activities related to infectious disease surveillance and control. They expressed the need for suitable training initiatives to strengthen their competences in the field. Their perception of the utility and feasibility of pathogen genomics for public health purposes will be a key driver for its further implementation
