Lecture Series Translational Bioinformatics & Systems Biomedicine - "PATIENT-PAST BASED PRECISION MEDICINE" - Prof Soren Brunak
22/03/2018 16:00 to 22/03/2018 18:30 (Europe/Luxembourg)
Speaker
Prof Soren Brunak is Professor and Programme Director at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research at University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Abstract
Multi-step disease trajectories are key to the understanding of human disease progression patterns and their underlying molecular level etiologies. The number of human protein coding genes is small and many genes are presumably impacting more than one disease, a fact that complicates the process of identifying actionable variation for use in precision medicine efforts. We present approaches to the identification of frequent disease trajectories from population-wide healthcare data comprising millions of patients and corresponding strategies for linking disease co-occurrences to genomic individuality.

About the Lecture & Workshop series - TRANSLATIONAL BIOINFORMATICS AND SYSTEMS BIOMEDICINE
The LIH lecture and workshops series in Translational Bioinformatics and Systems Biomedicine, supported by the FNR and jointly organized with the University of Luxembourg, are gathering internationally
This lecture will be followed by a workshop especially dedicated to early-stage researchers.
Attendance to the lecture and workshop are free of charge. Should you be interested in registering for the workshop, please feel free to do so by sending us an email.
