We were delighted to host this year’s Human Ecosystems Retreat at European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI. The retreat brought together our service and research teams to share recent work, explore new collaborations, and plan our next steps in identifying gene x environment interactions underlying human phenotypes.

Particular thanks go to our external guests for sharing their expertise and providing input: Gary W. Miller (NEXUS Network for Exposomics in the U.S.), Nicole Soranzo (Human Technopole), Brooke Wolford (Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)), Michael Inouye (University of Cambridge) and Richard Houghton (Health Data Research UK (HDR UK).

Looking forward to what’s ahead as we continue to grow, establish new collaborations and work together with the wider research community to protect human health.
