This presentation, describes the experiences with personal genome sequencing and use of genomics approaches and model systems. The talk also highlights a platforms for systematic curation of information and crowdsourcing highly specialised tasks online through CrowdOmics platform. Systematic annotation of datasets for personalised genomics for the OpenPGx consortium and analytical tasks through the 2C4C programme for Cheminformatics could be crowdsourced through the platform.The talk would also discuss the way forward, detailing the ongoing initiatives including the GUaRDIAN Consortium involving a large clinical network towards realising the dream. | 12:40 | Q/A Session | 12:45 | Poster Viewing | 13:00 | Lunch Break and Networking Session | | Session 2: Engineering Genome for Clinical Applications/ Session Chair: Rajalakshmi Gope |

This presentation will highlight different gene editing systems, viz. ZFNs, TALENs and CRISPR-Cas9 that are currently used to generate genetically modified cell lines and animals. CRISPR-Cas9 system will be discussed in more detail along with some examples of gene knock-out cell line generation | 15:20 | Q/A Session | 15:25 | Coffee Break and Networking Session | | Session 3: Genomic & Proteomic Approaches to Biomarker Discovery/ Session Chair: K P R Pramod |
| | 15:50 | Integrative Genomics and Proteomics for Linking Molecular and Clinical Worlds Rajani Kanth Vangala, Director of Research, Thrombosis Research Institute, India
This presentation will discuss an integrative translational research strategy which utilizes the molecular networks to reconcile the genotypes and phenotypes. This talk will also highlights the successful integration of the disease phenotypes with molecular networks to elucidate the transcriptional regulation and identification followed by validation of biomarkers in coronary artery disease. In order to enable the participatory, preventive and precision medicine, how nanotechnology is used to develop novel technology platforms from bio-specimen collection, storage to assay development will be described in this presentation. | 16:20 | Q/A Session | 16:25 | Functional Proteomics to Identify Therapeutic Targets in Cancer Aditi Chatterjee, Faculty Scientist, Institute of Bioinformatics, India
