Claudia Langenberg, Professor of Computational Medicine at the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and MRC Investigator and Programme Leader at the MRC Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge, will present examples of how the integration of different omics in large patient and population studies can help to predict disease risk, understand mechanisms, and reveal shared connections between different diseases.

Prof. Rikard Holmdahl from Karolinska Institute will talk about Finding and understanding genes associated with common diseases; decreased levels of oxygen radicals cause autoimmune disease

Assoc. Prof. Adil Mardinoglu SciLifeLab fellow at KTH will talk about the use of systems biology in treatment of liver diseases

Simon Elsässer, Associate Professor at Karolinska Institutet, will talk about Exploring the dynamics of the pluripotent epigenome and lineage choice in development.

Tanja Slotte, Assoc. Prof. at Stockholm University, Sweden, will talk about Supergenes, sexual selection and self-fertilization - genomics of plant mating system evolution

Prof. Jay Hinton, Professor of Microbial Pathogenesis at the University of Liverpool will summarise the evolutionary pathway of invasive S. Typhimurium across Africa, and explain the value of an integrated functional genomic analysis for understanding how bacterial pathogens cause disease.

Prof. Manfred Schartl, from the University of Würzburg, Germany, will talk about the evolution of sex determination and sex chromosomes in fish
