No future instance of this course is planned yet

This course is co-organised by the CUSO/StarOmics doctoral program. Priority is given to its members, but is open to everyone.

Overview

We aim at detailing state-of-the-art advancement of metabolomics, which represents a powerful approach and an alternative to the classical other omics. It represents a better phenotypic picture by reflecting the biochemical activity of the cells. This course will provide an overview of typical workflow of metabolomics experiment (from data to biological knowledge).

Audience

This course is addressed mainly to PhD students and postdocs.

Learning objectives

At the end of the course, the participants are expected to be able to:

  • design their MS based metabolomics experiments;
  • analyse and interpret LC-MS metabolomics data;
  • understand and discuss current trends and challenges in metabolomics

Prerequisites

Knowledge / competencies

Although not required, basic knowledge of mass spectrometry, analytical chemistry, and statistics is a plus.
