Session Title:"The proteome as a net with which to catch environmental influences on phenotypes"

In this recording, Dr. Kári Stefánsson, the CEO of deCODE Genetics of Iceland, speaks on how the study the proteome in an hypothesis independent manner is the next revolution in science, with examples on how information on the plasma proteome has transformed the insights gained from genomics in three key studies by deCODE. 

Session highlights

• Humans are a product of both the genotype and phenotype, and plasma proteomics is the connection between the two
• The importance of interrogating the proteome in a hypothesis independent manner
• How proteomics has influenced the insights they gained from their genetic research into diseases such as colorectal cancer and cardiovascular disease, and prediction of mortality
