CMBI, TML and Human Genetics organized a successful summerschool on 'Integrative X-omics Analyses Empowering Personalized Healthcare'.
Throughout the week, the participants worked on an assignment for which they needed to design a X-omics study, and define a data analysis and management plan. The participants worked in multidisciplinary teams of four. Their different scientific backgrounds helped to address this assignment from different angles. On Friday, the participants presented their exciting studies covering a range of different topics: from the study of the influence of microbiome on constipation in Parkinson's disease, to the identification of early marker signals for infection in rheumatoid arthritis patients after treatment with tocublizimab, risk assessment in prostate cancer based on combined imaging and -omics profiling, the molecular mechanisms of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and the early detection of cerebral course of disease in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy.
The organizers are looking forward to a next edition.
