ExpoSignalz Online Webinar Focused on Chemical Pollution
2026-05-21 15:00 - 17:00 | online
Join the ExpoSignalz team for their first webinar exploring the links between persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and Alzheimer’s disease. The webinar will take place on Thursday, 21st May from 14:00-16:00 BST (15:00-17:00 CEST), online.
What are POPs?
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are man-made chemicals once widely used in agriculture and industry, for example in pesticides, electrical equipment, and flame-retardant materials. They are called “persistent” because they break down very slowly in the environment, allowing them to spread globally and accumulate in the food chain and are stored in human body fat, where they can remain for many years and slowly enter the bloodstream. Although many POPs have been banned since the late 1970s due to their toxicity, they are still detected in humans today, mainly through the consumption of contaminated foods such as fatty fish, dairy products, and meat.
Whilst some of the non-genetic causes of Alzheimer’s disease are well-recognised, the contribution of chemical exposures is still unclear. The ExpoSignalz project aims to uncover how specific chemical pollutants, such as persistent organic pollutants, electronic waste, and pharmaceutical residues, affect brain ageing and contribute to the development of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, a leading cause of death worldwide.
Our Speakers
The ExpoSignalz team along with international experts will bring their knowledge and latest research to the session. Speakers and their presentation titles are outlined below:

Symposium on Exposome and Neurodegenerative Diseases
2026-06-29 - 2026-06-30 | Montpellier, France
The Symposium on Exposome and Neurodegenerative Diseases will be held on the 29th and 30th of June 2026 at the CNRS campus in the “Amphithéatre Délégation Régionale”, Montpellier. The event will raise awareness of amyloid-related diseases and explore how science can address them.
Master’s students, PhD candidates, and scientists are invited to join this free and engaging scientific meeting, which offers a great opportunity to learn, exchange ideas, and connect.
The event is being co-organised by Celia Daba, a PhD student from Inserm involved in the ExpoSignalz project, and also features speakers from the ExpoSignalz team, Dr Marion Moramais and Project Coordinator Dr Veroniqe Pellier.
This event is sponsored by the ExposUM Institute, an initiative from the University of Montpellier that focuses on public health and the environment. The institute particularly focuses on the exposome, a generic term referring to all the factors to which individuals are exposed throughout their lifespan. In accordance with this philosophy, the symposium will bring together leading scientists to discuss the mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of amyloid-related diseases.
The symposium will address key questions, such as:

What are the latest strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases?
How do the factors we are exposed to in our daily lives influence the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases?
How do social conditions shape this risk, and who is most vulnerable?

ENACT Mid-Term Symposium Agenda
2026-09-28 15:15 - 19:00 | Florence, Italy
The agenda for the ENACT Mid-Term Symposium, taking place on 28 September 2026 in Florence, Italy, is now available.
Held as part of AIOTI Days 2026, the symposium will bring together researchers, innovators, and technology experts to explore how artificial intelligence, wearable technologies, and environmental sensing are advancing exposome research and supporting more personalised approaches to healthcare.
The programme features presentations from ENACT partners covering the project’s latest achievements in AI-driven health risk prediction, wearable devices for personal exposome monitoring, sensor deployment strategies, and environmental data modelling. Attendees will also have the opportunity to see a live demonstration of the ENACT wearable platform and engage directly with the researchers behind these developments.
The symposium will conclude with a networking cocktail, providing an opportunity to exchange ideas and foster new collaborations within the European research community.
Participation in the ENACT Mid-Term Symposium is free of charge.
We look forward to welcoming you to Florence!
Date: 28 September 2026
