The Scientific Method and Advancing Omic Technologies: Breakthroughs in Psoriatic Disease.

Abstract

A morning workshop addressing the topic of "What You Always Wanted to Know About Science but Were Afraid to Ask" was held at the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2024 annual meeting. In brief, Profs. Stephen Pennington and Nicole Ward covered the effect of recent multiomics and artificial intelligence technologies on psoriatic disease research by introducing these revolutionary advances in the context of the traditional scientific method. The workshop presented the fundamentals of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics; the limitations and challenges of these technologies; and current methods to present and interpret big data.
