Dr. Schrauwen Title: Omics-Driven Approaches in Nervous and Sensory System Disorders
During the last decade, the advancement in omics technologies has significantly contributed to the discovery of novel pathogenic pathways underlying disorders of the nervous and sensory systems. These technologies have facilitated a deeper comprehension of the pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie these disorders and contributed to improved molecular diagnostic testing. Both these aspects can have a considerable impact on disease management and treatment.

This presentation will revolve around exploring diverse "-omics", including genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the intricate pathogenic mechanisms underlying various neurodevelopmental and sensorineural disorders. In addition, I will delve into several novel technologies which hold the potential to unravel novel pathogenic mechanisms implicated in human diseases as they provide a more complete view of the human genome and transcriptome.
