Data Driven Multi-omics Integration in Life Sciences
September 26, 2024 @ 09:00 – 17:00 CEST
The 10th RIKEN-KI-SciLifeLab Symposium
Large amounts of data are being generated in various omics disciplines such as genomics, genetics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics. Integrating these multi-dimensional omics datasets offers unprecedented opportunities to gain comprehensive insights into complex biological systems and their underlying mechanisms. This symposium on “Data Driven Multi-omics Integration in Life Sciences” brings together experts to explore the integration of multi-dimensional omics datasets. Speakers will specifically highlight the integrative aspect of their work and how it helped in understanding biology and medical sciences.

Symposium History
This symposium series is organized between RIKEN in Japan, and Karolinska Institutet and SciLifeLab in Sweden. The symposia alternate between RIKEN and SciLifeLab.
The overall goals of the symposia are to
- Identify common scientific interests between RIKEN and SciLifeLab,
- Identify complementary skills and technologies for collaborations
- Encourage the exchange of Ph.D. students and postdocs between RIKEN and SciLifeLab/KI.
Several collaborations between groups at KI, SciLifeLab and RIKEN started based on first contact during one of the symposia.
Organizers
- Dr. Kazuhiko Yamamoto (RIKEN IMS)
- Dr. Carsten Daub (Karolinska Institutet/SciLifeLab)
- Dr. Harukazu Suzuki (RIKEN IMS)
- Dr. Chung-Chau Hon (RIKEN IMS)
