"In 2023, we have carried out more than 30 000 analyses of human biological monitoring. By measuring chemical substances and their metabolites in the human body, we account directly for inter-individual differences such as metabolism, diet, and lifestyle. This approach serves both patient care and population health monitoring. My role is to ensure the accurate interpretation of these results, making a significant impact on both individual and public health outcomes."
