Section “Molecular pathology, diagnostics and therapy”
The Molecular pathology, diagnostics and therapy section is dedicated to advances in human genetics, molecular biology, and systems biology as a foundation for developing new technologies for high-precision diagnostics, treatment, and disease prevention.
The section topics will include the following research areas:
- Genotyping for high-precision and personalized medicine
- Genomics and epigenetics in medicine
- B&B (Bioinformatics and Biomedicine): genes, gene expression, and gene networks in human diseases
- GWAS (genome-wide association studies) as a tool for identifying relationships between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and human diseases.
- Molecular and systems biology of healthy and diseased humans
- Personalized medicine: new biomarkers and molecular targets
- Translational medicine: from cellular and animal models to clinical studies
- Materials science and regenerative medicine.
The section will serve as an interdisciplinary platform for discussing challenges in systems biology and biomedicine among specialists from different backgrounds, including biologists, geneticists, physicians of various specialties, pharmacologists, bioinformatics experts, and others.
Integrative studies that combine experimental and bioinformatics approaches to investigating changes in genomic variability—as one of the key factors and markers in the development of human diseases—are welcomed.
