Salivaomics
2025-01-28 18:00 - 19:00
The Future of Non-Invasive Diagnostics and Personalized Medicine

Elevating Diagnostic Excellence

About The Lecture

Salivaomics, the study of salivary biomarkers, is transforming diagnostics and personalized medicine. Saliva, a rich biofluid containing DNA, RNA, proteins, metabolites, and microbiota, offers a painless, cost-effective alternative to traditional methods, ideal for large-scale and remote healthcare applications.

Advances in genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics have uncovered salivary biomarkers linked to diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, and infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Salivaomics also enables personalized treatment plans by analyzing individual salivary profiles, supporting early disease detection, health monitoring, and integrating digital health tools.

Despite challenges in standardization and test sensitivity, salivaomics is shaping the future of accessible, efficient, and patient-friendly healthcare solutions.

Who Should Attend? This live stream is ideal for dentists, oral pathologists, periodontists, and oral medicine specialists interested in advancing diagnostic and treatment capabilities. Researchers, healthcare professionals in systemic disease management, and anyone keen on cutting-edge, non-invasive diagnostic technologies will also benefit.
