Integrating multimodal big data to understand human disease

Abstract

It is conceivable that in the not too distant future we will obtain detailed information on the genomic, epigenomic, proteomic, and metabolomic footprints of a human being. This huge amount of quantitative data will enable us to understand human functionality in health and disease with unprecedented detail, entering a potential 'Golden Age of Bioinformatics'. In my talk I will highlight the current status of data integration and analysis in bioinformatics setting and the challenges that we face. I'll explain this by taking a look at research projects of our laboratory, ranging from the detection of biomarkers to mechanistic insights into human disease.
