title: A report of the first biennial meeting on Capita Selecta in Complex Disease Analysis (CSCDA2010), Leuven, Belgium, August 25-27, 2010.
abstract: There is a need for interdisciplinary assessments and interpretations of -omics underpinnings of human complex diseases. However, often investigators from different, yet overlapping, disciplines experience difficulties in understanding the other discipline's language and there is a clear need for establishing a platform that nourishes interdisciplinary team processes and allows tearing down the professional's tower of Babel. To accommodate these needs, the biennial mini-conference Capita Selecta in Complex Disease Analysis was instigated. Abstracts are freely available online [http://www.aimontefiore.org/cscda2010/].
