“Leveraging multiomics data in the study of human health and disease”

Talk abstract: Recent advances that allow us to generate molecular data (like genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) at a population-scale have enormous potential to advance our understanding of health and disease. However, there are many challenges in properly implementing and interpreting these multiomic data. This talk will discuss the role of multiomic data in epidemiological research, the challenges in using them, and recent work addressing these issues.
