Multi-omics & type 2 diabetes

In this episode, Alice Limonciel and Sapna Sharma discuss how to make the most of the omic data already generated in cohort studies, the place of metabolomics in multi-omics strategies, and how to go beyond associations and towards causal relationships and their implications for medicine in general and diabetes in particular.
