Interorgan Crosstalk: Exploring Communication Axes and Their Relevance in Health and Disease

Friday, April 5, 2024
8:30–10 a.m.
Room 104BC

This session, chaired by Wolfgang Kuebler, PhD, MD, FAPS, and Venkataramana K. Sidhaye, MD, will discuss how organ function, disease diagnosis and treatment are still largely siloed, but a new, rich body of epidemiological and pre-clinical evidence highlights the relevance of interorgan crosstalk in homeostasis and disease. Experts will reveal how comprehensive multidimensional analysis of interorgan communication is made possible by new multi-omics and single cell analysis technologies. These technologies, with multilevel data integration and analysis tools, computational modeling and artificial intelligence, are unveiling new insights into interorgan communication.
