Listen Later

In this episode, Theral Timpson dives into the burgeoning field of multiomics and its massive data challenges with a veteran of digital pathology, Joachim Schmid. Schmid was recently appointed as vice president of multiomics data solutions at Illumina. Schmid discusses how sequencing costs are plummeting, leading to an explosion in multiomics applications. Yet, with all the data being generated, biologists often lack the computational background to make sense of it. Schmid highlights Illumina's acquisition of Partek, a company that has been developing multiomics data analysis tools, and he emphasizes that empowering researchers with accessible analysis tools is crucial to advancing the field. AI is poised to play a key role in moving multiomics forward. Schmid discusses both the opportunities and limitations of AI, noting that while AI can streamline data processing, there are still areas for improvement, particularly in developing more intuitive and user-friendly tools for biologists. He shares some exciting applications of multiomics in personalized medicine and cancer research.
