  Abstract
 
Multi-Omics: the future bridge towards personalized medicine
Response to therapy or vaccination varies among individuals due to several factors including age, hygienic conditions, obesity, immune status and genetic predisposition. Therefore insisting on equally treating people against a particular disease might turn to be the wrong, inefficient and less economic approach. We are nowadays living in the era of multi-Omics including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, kinomics and interactomics. Analysis of huge data sets obtained from such multi-Omics approaches using powerful computational tools to obtain a more global view on how biological or medical systems function is known as systems biology or systems medicine. In this lecture the speaker will try to cover how systems approaches can contribute to identifying biomarkers which enable differentiating responses of different individuals to a given therapy or vaccine. Also, he will highlight the importance of developing and implementing such recent research advances in Egypt.
