Omics Integration in Biology and Medicine Workshop

The focus of this meeting will be on the emerging field of integrating disparate omic data from genomics, proteomics, glycomics, etc. in order to better understand key biological processes and also improve clinical practice. Discussants will focus on identifying the technical and biological barriers in omic integration, with solutions to build a consensus towards data integration in bioscience and to better define phenotypes.  As omics science moves forward, identifying methodologies and applications based on specific types of omic data, as well as their integration, becomes increasingly important as it provides new insights to be rapidly tested in basic or applied research.  This meeting sponsored by NHLBI, NCI, and International Forum of Proteomics will be held on June 19 - 20 and can be viewed online at  NIH Videocast, Day 1 and Day 2.
