International Symposium on Recent Trends in Cancer Research: From OM to OMICS
November 24, 2014
About the Theme of Symposium These days, OMICS a buzz word in life sciences, is frequently used to describe big biology, and refers to a separate facet in life sciences. OMICS focuses on large scale data/information to understand life summed up in “omes” such as proteome, genome, transcriptome, metabolome, etc. According to one etymological analysis, the suffix 'ome' is derived from the Sanskrit“OM” which pronounced “Aum.” It signifies fullness,as in a divinity that encompasses the entire universe in its unlimitness. It is believed to be the basic sound of the world, if repeated with the correct intonation; it can resonate throughout the body, so that the sound penetrates to "completeness and fullness", whereas, high-resolution and high-throughput technologies have yielded an unprecedented view of cancer “OMES.”This work has led to the identification of pathophysiologically important genes and pathways frequently disrupted across many cancer types that has improved understanding of cancer as a disease. Although current modern research tends to be highly focused at the molecular level, it is not completely focused at the whole organism level, making it reductionist. Within the last three decades, cancer causing genes and protein kinases have been identified as targets. Although these targets were not known 5,000years ago, the components of herbs used at that time now appear to target these molecules. Therefore, the combine approach of ‘‘system biology’’ and ‘‘genome revolution’’ along with ancient medicine is expected to provide a holistic approach to the treatment of cancer.Thus, the main focus of this symposium is to reveal how these ancient and modern approaches can be employed in today`s world to strengthen the fight against cancer.
