The Summer School „COME“ will provide the opportunity to learn and network in an interdisciplinary environmentin the cardiovascular field integrating knowledge from epidemiology, cohort studies, bioinformatics, statistics,and molecular biology with a focus on cardiovascular disease. It will bridge the gap between theory and practice of systems medicine approaches in clincial,molecular, and bioinformatics research.

In an interdisciplinary team of qualified lecturers from cardiovascular research, the attendees (doctoral studentsand postdocs) will learn the basics of how highthroughput omics data generated from study cohorts of myocardial infarction, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation are analyzed and integrated by mathematical models to gain insight into the pathophysiology of diseaseand improve prediction of incident disease and outcome. Systems biology tools will be used to demonstrate possible tranlsational approaches from the underpinnings of disease to implications in patient care.

The workshop is indended for young researchers (doctoralstudents and postdocs) from interdisciplinary areas of cardiovascular research (biology, medicine, bioinformatics,biostatistics, epidemiology, public health).
