Abstract:
|
Great advances in genomic technologies in the past several years have transformed the field of genetic epidemiology with much more data to explore and many more possible research paths to explore. It has become a real possibility to study the effects of genes, environment, and their interplay on disease risk at the biological systems level based on data collected from complex study designs. The large, diverse, and affordable genomics and proteomics data pose many study design, statistical, and computational challenges, and have stimulated vigorous methodology and theory developments lately. In this roundtable, we will discuss what have been accomplished through technological revolutions, the many gaps remaining between biological questions to be addressed and available methodologies, and many collaborative and grant opportunities in genetic epidemiology.
