Technological advances in unbiased omics analysis of biological samples, combined with rigorous clinical phenotyping, are refining our understanding of the pathophysiology of complex diseases. This comprehensive approach uses sophisticated bioinformatics and biostatistics tools based on systems biology principles. The HYGIEIA project dedicated to COVID-19 is the first illustration of this approach within the UCLouvain health sector. The entire pathway, from patient to multi-omics analysis of samples and biostatistical data processing, is now available to researchers in all fields via a new platform: Systems Biology Core Facility.
