Pre-Conference Workshop Day - Tuesday, July 30, 2024
8:30 am Check In & Coffee
Workshop A | 9:30am – 12:30pm
Harmonizing Omics & Heart Failure Drug Development to Create Synthesis Among Existing Knowledge
Synopsis
Omic phenotyping in heart failure may well be the next frontier in heart failure drug discovery and development. With the enhanced capacity to analyze a plethora of markers, we now have the potential to construct a more exhaustive understanding of the factors and physiological mechanisms underlying heart failure. This workshop will build on real world evidence to demonstrate how different types of omics can contribute to understanding etiologies, advancing understanding of disease pathways, identifying new therapeutics targets and combatting fibrosis:
- Omic Mastery: Explore the power of omics for a detailed understanding of genetic, protein, and metabolic factors in heart failure
- Pathway Decoding: Learn how integrated omics data unravels complex disease pathways in heart failure
- Precision Therapeutics: See how omics guides targeted drug development for effective heart failure intervention
12:30 pm Lunch Break & Networking
Workshop B | 1:30pm – 4:30pm
Utilizing Population Genomics to Enhance Understanding, Prediction, & Management of Heart Failure
Synopsis
Deep dive into the intricate landscape of heart failure and its genetic underpinnings through a comprehensive exploration of genome-wide association studies. Uncover the the newest advancements in genome-wide association studies concerning heart failure and cardiomyopathy. We will discuss how these studies have been used to achieve several goals:
- Identifying new genetic loci linked to these diseases
- Creating polygenic risk scores to enhance disease prediction accuracy
- Carrying out Mendelian randomization experiments, including those that may have implications for potential drug targets
