Register for the OnDemand Emerging Topic Conference: Multi-Omics Approaches for Cholestatic Liver Diseases!

Learn how multi-omics approaches can be a tool to understand, diagnose and to develop future treatments for cholestatic liver diseases. Register today for the 2023 OnDemand Emerging Topic Conference: Multi-Omics Approaches for Cholestatic Liver Diseases: From Diagnosis to Disease Mechanisms and Precision Medicine happening June 1-2 online.

During this two-day event, attendees will view OnDemand presentations and network directly with experts in a virtual environment.

HOW IT WORKS

June 1: Day one is an immersive experience in education around multi-omics that will address the contribution of multi-omics approaches to new liver biology knowledge and care of patients with a variety of chronic liver diseases.

Learn about advances to improve the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases, including:

- Recent advances in “omics” technologies (i.e., genomic, proteomics, metabolomics) as applied to cholangiopathies and cholestatic liver diseases. 

- The crucial role of the microbiome and the environment in biliary diseases.

- Innovations in computational tools for large scale data integration.

- The use of human stem cell-based cell models (i.e., induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and 3D-organoids) as a complementary tool for precision medicine.

June 2: On day two, attendees have a chance to join deeper discussions around the topics covered during day one. Attendees will network in virtual Zoom rooms, with speakers, our program chairs and other attendees.
