Tabea Sonnenschein

Tabea is a PhD candidate for Exposome-NL as well as the European research project EXPANSE (focus on urban exposome), focused on building and testing a spatial agent-based model of urban interventions to prevent cardio-metabolic pulmonary diseases. The goal is a simulation model that predicts behavioural and environmental exposure change, health impacts and social costs and benefits caused by interventions in domains, such as transport, land use or commercial regulation. Her background is GIS, Complex Systems Sciences and Computational Social Sciences.

Decoding the exposome

Decoding the exposome

The environment we live in has a dominant impact on our health. It explains an estimated seventy percent of the chronic disease burden. Where we live, what we eat, how much we exercise, the air we breathe and whom we associate with; all of these environmental factors play a role. The combination of these factors over the life course is called the exposome. There is general (scientific) consensus that understanding more about the exposome will help explain the current burden of disease and that it provides entry points for prevention and ...
