Molecular Human and the Multi-Omics Revolution: with Dr. Karsten Suhre and Dr. Anna Halama

Are you ready to journey through the intricate layers of Omics, a rapidly developing field that's reshaping our understanding of biological systems? From genomics to proteomics and metabolomics, the multi-omics approach intertwines these layers, offering a rich, multidimensional view of human biology. Today's conversation unravels the fascinating complexity within our bodies, spotlighting the current advancements in multi-omics research and its transformative potential in disease diagnosis and treatment. You'll also discover why glycans, despite often being overlooked in multi-omics studies, are in fact promising biomarkers due to their role as intermediate phenotypes. In this conversation, we are joined by two scientists from Weill Cornell Medicine in Qatar. Karsten Suhre, the Professor of Physiology and Biophysics and the Director of Bioinformatics Core and Dr. Ania Halama, who is an Assistant Professor in Research of Physiology and Biophysics. Tune in, as we unravel the enigmas of this complex and transformative field of research.
