About the workshop:

The Treatabolome is part of “Solve-RD – solving the unsolved rare diseases”, a research project funded by the European Commission for five years (2018-2022) that aims at answering unsolved RD cases by using a beyond-the-genome, multi-omics approach. The Treatabolome aims at the harvesting of evidence appraised treatment information for rare diseases at a gene and variant level and its collection in a knowledge database to assist clinicians with treatment options. The integration of the Treatabolome data in existing genetic diagnosis tools is the final objective of this Solve-RD work package.

The current workshop summons Treatabolome’s lead actors to explain the concept and methodology adopted during the project, that in a nutshell consists of data assemblage through Systematic Reviews addressing diverse rare diseases specific treatments and building of the informatics platform for sharing that data.

The Workshop participants should acquire a perspective of the complexity of rare diseases gene and variant-specific treatments and an understanding of the contribution of the Treatabolome acting as translational medicine tool that bridges bench to bedside knowledge.

How to interact:

During the workshop, the dialogue with the participants will exist both during the talks and at the end. It includes polling answers to questions and Q&A opportunities during the interactive session.
