Outline
Text
Workshop Description: Increasing amounts of high-throughput data sets are collected during the examination of patients, in particular imaging data, and data from genome-wide screening techniques like next-generation sequencing (NGS) or proteomics. The analysis of these complex data sets identifies new challenges for biomedical informatics, medical bioinformatics, biostatistics, and systems medicine. Finally, it aims at a more precise classification of patient groups during the diagnosis and therefore it enables customized therapies in personalized medicine. Multi-omics data integration is one of the major challenges in the era of precision medicine. Within this workshop, we want to consider the holistic lifecycle of multi-omics data: 1) How to store multi-omics data in databases using the FAIR principles to achieve data quality and reusability. 2) How to process multi-omics data with validated data analysis pipelines. Furthermore, use cases and applications of multi-omics data analysis will be presented.
Audiences: The workshop addresses a wide audience from the areas of bioinformatics, medical informatics, and systems biology to biostatistics as well as epidemiology. The workshop should give an overview over the field and especially address the overlaps and interfaces between all the different research areas and scientific communities active in multi-omics data analysis.
Methods: In several talks bridging the domains of biomedical informatics, medical bioinformatics, biostatistics, and systems medicine, the demands, challenges, and potential solutions regarding multi-omics data analysis should be presented. Furthermore, a fruitful interdisciplinary discussion should be encouraged.
