[Introduction]
With the advent of high-throughput technologies, vast amounts of data are being generated across multiple domains, including genomics, genetics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics. In addition, advancements in imaging technologies and the increasing availability of electronic medical records provide rich, complementary data sources for understanding complex biological systems and disease mechanisms. However, integrating these heterogeneous datasets presents significant analytical challenges.

This symposium on Multimodal Fusion and Data Integration in Multi-Omics, Imaging, and Medical Data will bring together experts to explore cutting-edge strategies for fusing multi-dimensional data. A key focus will be on the application of machine learning approaches to harmonize diverse datasets, uncover hidden patterns, and enhance predictive modeling in biomedical research. Speakers will highlight how integrative analysis across omics, imaging, and clinical records leads to novel insights into human health, disease progression, and therapeutic strategies.

[Symposium History]
This symposium series is organized between RIKEN in Japan, and the Karolinska Institute and the Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) in Sweden. The symposia alternate between RIKEN and SciLifeLab. The 2025 symposium will be the 11th one and will be held at RIKEN in Yokohama.

 The overall main goals of the symposia are to a) identify common scientific interests between RIKEN and SciLifeLab, b) identify complementary skills and technologies for collaborations and c) encourage the exchange of Ph.D. students and postdocs between RIKEN and SciLifeLab/KI. Several collaborations between groups at KI, SciLifeLab and RIKEN started based on first contact during one of the symposia.
