The first Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) virtual Catalyst Conference (CC), Integrative Approach for Complex Diseases Prevention and Management and Beyond, was held on December 16, 2020. The conference focused on several disease-driven approaches, including multiomics and molecular and genetic epidemiology, which have been applied to dissect the pathophysiological and etiological mechanism of a wide range of health conditions from musculoskeletal diseases, cardiometabolic diseases, and cancers to aging. There were four invited presentations and two keynote speakers over about half a day. This CC was organized based on the following rationale. Both hypothesis-driven and data-driven approaches that integrate the recent developments in biotechnology have been employed to scrutinize the etiologic and molecular mechanisms of many different complex diseases and to provide insights for diseases or mortality classification and stratification. These studies have shed light on the prevention and management of these diseases and beyond. This first conference among the virtual CC series aimed to present and discuss cutting-edge methodological examples in traditional epidemiology and molecular epidemiology, as well as genetic epidemiology, to a worldwide audience. The first keynote address was by Dr. Yi-Hsiang (Sean) Hsu (Hebrew SeniorLife Institute for Aging Research, Harvard University and Broad Institute of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, MA, USA), who illustrated several analytical pipelines to identify targets from genome-wide association studies in a systematical manner. The discussed approaches by Dr. Hsu can identify causal variants, upstream
