January 2025 NESACS Meeting with Olaris, Inc. Featuring Elizabeth O’Day
January 21 - 4:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free – $35
Join us on Tuesday, January 21st for an evening featuring Elizabeth O’Day, CEO and Founder of Olaris, Inc., with Nicole Holderman and Chen Dong who will be presenting: “Leveraging metabolomics and machine learning for precision diagnostics“
Abstract: In this talk we explore the power of metabolomics for biomarker and diagnostic development and highlight the multidisciplinary team and skills needed to bring innovative products to market. Dr. Elizabeth O’Day will begin by describing her vision of Olaris as a precision diagnostic company that combines metabolomics, machine learning, and biology to develop tools that transform how we diagnose and treat disease. Beginning in ancient Egypt, metabolites have provided powerful biomarkers of human health, but only recently have advances in technology and data analysis enabled us to uncover new insights into human biology and disease.
The second part of the talk will be conducted by two science leaders at Olaris. First, Dr. Nicole Holderman will describe the myOLARIS-toolbox, which combines multi-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, mass spec, and rigorous statistical and machine learning analysis to fuel our biomarker discovery engine. Then, Chen Dong will detail how we leveraged our platform to launch the world’s first non-uniformly sampled (NUS) multi-dimensional NMR-based diagnostic for the non-invasive monitoring of kidney transplant immune status.
