We are currently in a transition stage from genomics to proteomics towards system level cytomics. With the increasing availability of tools and instruments, such as High Content Screening, and molecular medicine, etc. to study penomena of increasing spatial, spectral and temporal dimensionality and complexity at high speed and quality, quantifying and analysing biological phenomena of a higher order of complexity will be possible at high speed. The tools to extract high order feature spaces and extract knowledge and understanding from biological levels of complexity previously out of reach bring us closer to capturing and understanding the intrahuman ecosystem.
My personal interest in cytomics, grew out of my own work on High Content Screening, as you can see in:
A Human Cytome Project - an idea

Software Engineering for Science

I am indebted, for their pioneering work in automated digital microscopy, to Frans Cornelissen, Hugo Geerts, Jan-Mark Geusebroek, Roger Nuyens, Rony Nuydens, Luk Ver Donck and their colleagues. Many thanks also to the pioneers of Nanovid microscopy, Marc De Brabander, Jan De Mey, Hugo Geerts, Marc Moeremans, Rony Nuydens and their colleagues. I also want to thank all those scientists who have helped me with general information and articles, I hope I always quoted everyone properly when possible.
