Explore the microbiome and its high clinical relevance, as well as learning about the different methodology used in microbiomic clinical trials.
The microbiome plays an important role in many diseases and holds promise of being a therapeutic target, or key, of high clinical relevance. However, the metholodogy of the science of microbiomics is very unlike what is typically used in clinical trials: big data, computationally-demanding bioinformatics, highly multivariate results, skewed distributions, complex assumptions. In addition, the field is held back by a lack of standardisation.
What is the clinical relevance of the microbiome? What is the current status of microbiomics in clinical trials? What interpretational pitfalls should one be wary of in the field of microbiomics? How can current best practices best be applied in a microbiome context? How does one validate the results of microbiomics?
These are some of the questions that this course will seek to shed some light on.
Browse our extensive selection of Life Sciences training courses for industry-leading insights into a range of topics. These include Medical Devices, IVDs, Biotech and Biopharma, Animal Health and Pharmaceutical training courses.
This course intends to bridge the gap between the science of microbiomics and the conduct of clinical trials. The course's intended audience is anyone who wishes to conduct or contribute to a clinical trial that uses microbiome science. This includes:
Nikolaj Sørensen holds a MSc in biology and PhD in microbial ecology form the University of Copenhagen. He has worked with microbiomics for 10 years, both executing and leading laboratory and bioinformatic efforts, and has authored several papers on the subject and worked on several clinical trials. Currently, Nikolaj Sørensen focuses on bringing microbiomics into medicine, facilitating that process from a QA perspective.
