Who should attend?
Designed for researchers, biostatisticians, bioinformaticians, platform teams, and scientific leaders who want to get more value from their Olink data.
About the event
From Olink data to deeper biological insight: a community day on downstream analysis, integration, and emerging tools
This interactive second day will focus on the steps that follow biomarker discovery: downstream analysis workflows, data interpretation, multi-omics integration, tool adoption, and emerging approaches such as AI-assisted analytics. Through customer stories, expert-led discussions, and community roundtables, participants will explore how different teams are building, scaling, and applying data analysis pipelines in real-world research settings.
The day is designed as a collaborative forum. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from peers, exchange experiences, discuss common challenges, and share perspectives on what is needed to make advanced proteomics analysis more accessible, reproducible, and impactful.
