\n\n\n\nMetabolomics is the fastest growing area of life sciences and involves the systematic study of the small molecular metabolites in a cell, tissue, biofluid or cell culture media that are the tangible result of cellular processes or responses to an environmental stress. The main goal of metabolomics is to identify a list of differentially regulated metabolites for use in biomarker discovery, pathway analysis, model construction, and scientific literature. The objective of the Metabolomics Course is to acquaint the learner with emerging trends in metabolomics as well as equip him with skills for generating and interrogating metabolomic data. The Metabolomics Course is ideal for students and researchers working in the pharma, biotech, food, and agricultural industries.

In this 5-day Metabolomics Course, students receive hands-on training on:\n\n\n\n\nExperimental design of metabolomics studies\n\n\n\nSample preparation including extraction, chromatography, and ionization efficiency maximization\n\n\n\nGeneration of raw metabolomic LC\/MS or GC\/MS data\n\n\n\nPre-processing data analysis including conversion of raw data to the mXMZL format, feature detection, retention time correction and statistical analysis\n\n\n\nMetabolite identification\n\n\n\nHypothesis testing\n\n\n\nExperimental validation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUsing the most powerful software, you will gain the latest skills in metabolomics data analysis.
