Title: The Importance of Nano-scale Omics in Attaining the UN Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract: The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.Omics techniques at the nano-scale – genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics - are critical in attaining the SDGs. Examples of their application in medicine, environmental issues on land and in the ocean, plant evolution and public health will be given. Education about these issues at all levels of the population will be vital for policy development in the future.
