Multiple ways to integrate multi-omics data – case studies from studying human diseases

Trainers: Tamás Korcsmáros and Matthew Madgwick

Overview: The presentation covers why it is useful to use protein-protein interaction networks, and the advantages of combining them with regulatory and metabolic interactions. We discuss intra- and inter-cellular signaling, and what are the most useful resources available to analyse your own data. Then four network medicine examples will demonstrate multi-omics integration in the field of infectious, cancerous and inflammatory diseases.

Learning outcome
By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Describe key application areas and methods in Network Medicine and biology driven multi-omics data integration.
  • Define the main data sources for Network Medicine
  • Summarise the main challenges and limitations with using networks
  • Apply the knowledge to other projects
  • Discuss some advantages of Network and Precision Medicine in therapy selection and drug repurposing
