The 31st Science Cluster conference, «Genomic Mechanisms of Disease», will bring together world-leading experts to discuss cutting-edge research on the genomic influences underlying various diseases.
Recent years have seen tremendous progress in mapping the genetic basis of common complex disease revealing remarkable complexity and posing substantial challenges in the interpretation of these results. To address this gap, new approaches have been pioneered to generate single-cell catalogs of multimodal (genetic, genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and imaging) data; faithful cell models that recapitulate disease-relevant biology; technologies for genome-scale perturbations; and powerful new ML approaches for interpreting and predicting biology. One of the grand challenges on the frontier of human genomics and health is to develop scalable paradigms that build on these advances to scale the understanding of genomic mechanisms driving complex disorders. This will enable a deep understanding of the biological programs affected in diseases, and lay the foundation for preventive strategies, genomic medicine, and rationally designed therapeutics to benefit patients and societies across the planet.
