3. Expertise Related to the Call

Exposome & Environmental Health

  • Human biomonitoring and exposure assessment (chemical pollutants, stressors, lifestyle).

  • Integration of environmental, biological and behavioural data into exposome frameworks.

  • Experience in environmental epidemiology and health impact modelling.

Neuropsychology & Multi-Omics Integration

  • Early detection of cognitive decline using behavioural and functional markers.

  • Research on gut microbiota–brain interactions and multi-omics approaches.

  • Development of risk stratification tools combining environmental, clinical and neuropsychological variables.

Data Science & Modelling

  • Multivariate statistical analysis for exposure–response modelling, supporting machine-learning partners for advanced modelling tasksLongitudinal cohort data handling and integration/harmonisation of heterogeneous datasetsStrong experience in translational research and ensuring clinical relevance.

4. Role Sought in the Consortium

We seek to join as a partner (not coordinator). Potential contributions include:

  • Exposome characterisation from a neurocognitive and ageing perspective.

  • Cognitive and functional assessment in human cohorts.

Contribution to multi-omics and microbiome–brain integrationMultivariate statistical analysis, data interpretation and support to dissemination activities5. Previous Experience

  • 20 years of research in neuropsychology, ageing and environmental health.

  • Participation in national and international R&D projects.

  • Member of NEUROAGE network (AGAUR R+D+I Networks, 2025–2028).

  • Strong publication record and experience in multi-omics and exposome-related research.

6. Why Partner With Us

  • Strong interdisciplinary environment combining toxicology, epidemiology, neuropsychology and omics.

  • Access to environmental, biological and cognitive assessment tools.

  • Expertise in exposome science and ageing-related vulnerability.

  • Commitment to FAIR data, open science and policy-relevant outcomes.
