Join us for a community webinar focused on early life environmental exposures and the origin of Alzheimer's disease, part of the Mount Sinai Institute for Exposomic Research Environment and Health Lunchtime Chat Series. Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai are advancing research that reveals how environmental exposures—from air pollution and chemicals to social and lifestyle factors—shape health across the lifespan. Through this webinar series, we translate discovery into action, connecting groundbreaking science to real-world insights that empower families and communities to make informed choices and support long-term health.

In this session, Robert Wright, MD, MPH, Ethel H. Wise Chair of the Department of Environmental Medicine and Co-Director of the Institute for Exposomic Research, will explore how the emerging science of exposomics is transforming our understanding of longevity, health span, and Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Wright will discuss how experiences and exposures early in life—and accumulated over decades—may influence brain health throughout the life course. This webinar will help attendees better understand why Alzheimer’s disease may begin long before symptoms appear, and how prevention-focused research is opening new pathways toward healthier aging. 

Moderator: Ellen Lautenberg, Advisory Board Chair, Mount Sinai Institute for Exposomic Research
