Barcelona
This series of virtual workshops is aimed at Master/PhD students, researchers, clinicians, and other professionals working in the fields of exposomics, epidemiology, or toxicology with an interest in understanding how omics data can be integrated in epidemiological research.
Held on-line on Wednesdays from 16:30-17:30 over 12 weeks, the speakers include Arthur Tenenhaus, Augusto Anguita, Congrong Wang, Chris Gennings, Inès Amine, Jesse A. Goodrich, Lea Maitre, Nikolaos Stratakis, Ville Pimenoff, and Vishal Midya.
About the workshops
The field of exposomics delves into the complex interplay of environmental, social, lifestyle, genetic, and other biological factors, and promises to advance precision environmental health. Beyond genetics, the integration of exposomics and multi-omics into epidemiology research can enable a more precise understanding of disease and promote health, especially for vulnerable population subgroups.
In these workshops, we will introduce novel designs and analytical approaches for multi-omics integration that have recently been developed and applied in the exposomics field. Topics covered include critical data analysis challenges (dimensionality reduction approaches, mediation, predictive modelling, feature selection, networks, etc). The focus is on the practical application of these methods.
