"foodomics" and other omics

No idea whether it rhymes with "comics" or "NO-mix", but here it is,

To whom it may concern,

We are pleased to inform you that the 2nd International Conference
"Food-Omics: a science for nutrition, health and wellness in the
post-genomic era" will take place in Cesena (Italy), on June 22-24,
2011.

Food-Omics 2011 will be the scientific forum where academic and
industrial scientists involved in food and nutrition research will
discuss about the most recent advances in the "omics" approach. The
key themes will be OMIC SCIENCES FOR FOOD (Food Quality and
Biodiversity), FOOD FOR OPTIMAL NUTRITION (Nutrigenetics,
Nutrigenomics), FOOD FOR WELLNESS (Ageing and Disease Prevention) and
INDUSTRIAL FOOD IMPROVEMENT (Processing and Biotechnology). [...]
