The rapid advances in –omics technologies have enabled the study of disease from several molecular perspectives. This has already led to many novel insights in the underlying causes of disease, and has paved the way for more personalized molecular diagnostics and treatment selection based on the individual patient’s phenotype (multi-omics profile). In addition, recent technological advances have expanded the possibilities of medical imaging techniques towards high-resolution molecular, anatomical and functional imaging at the scale range from molecule to man. Increasingly, a cross-over between imaging and –omics technologies is taking place, with applications across the board from fundamental research to patient care. The Boerhaave course “Imaging meets –omics” will highlight how novel methodologies combining imaging and –omics data may lead to novel insights in biology, and clinical treatment approaches. The course aims to provide an entry-level overview of the field, where a line-up of expert speakers will highlight the current state-of-the-art in methodology, biology and clinical applications.
