The possibility of planning the right therapy for the right patient is the main focus of precision medicine research. In this context artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning are more and more gaining the scene thanks to the increased availability of heterogeneous medical data collected from healthcare systems. Indeed ‘-omics’ sciences, such as radiomics, genomics and pathomics, with their combinations (radiogenomics, radiopathomics, etc.) represent emerging approaches aiming at quantifying tumour phenotype. Specifically, the combination of clinical data and features extracted from radiological images, histological data and genomic information, together with AI and statistical techniques are exploited for prognostic and predictive ends. Specifically, they can generate insights to improve the discovery of new therapeutic procedures, to enhance and optimize current treatments, to help increasing the patients quality of life, just to name a few.

This special track aims to bring together researchers and practitioners, who are dealing with recent advances in artificial intelligence techniques for -omics sciences, providing the opportunity to promote, present, stimulate and facilitate the discussion of ongoing work in this this wide and multidisciplinary landscape (methodologies, practices, strategies, modeling, tools, latest results). This special track can also provide a forum to present latest research results, new technology developments, new strategies, and new applications in this area.
