#EBW25 Previews: 10C: Samples ready for multi-omics research
This session will highlight the critical biobank resources in multi-omics research, their challenges in sample collection and the integration of the requirements of different ‘omics’ fields, such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics into the operational biobank routine, clinical applications and IVDR.
This session will be chaired by:
Dr. Ronny Baber
