Session Abstract – PMWC 2019 Silicon Valley
Session Synopsis: The integration of multiple ‘omics’ technologies will allow us to gain a more complete picture of the constituents and mechanisms of various diseases including cardiovascular disease. This session will touch upon various “omics” technologies – genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and microbiomics – and their applications to uncover the complexity in cardiovascular disease mechanism and progression.
