Why should you join?
In this 7-day course, you will experience comprehensive, hands-on data analysis for untargeted metabolomics and exposome analysis. You will understand choices for technologies, get trained on different types of software, and be able to integrate datasets for different purposes:
- Measuring the Metabolome: Study Design & Quality Control
- LC-MS raw data processing MS DIAL,
- Compound ID MassWiki
- Statistics Statistical Power, Univariate and Multivariate Statistics, Regression Statistics, Bayesian Statistics in JASP
- Statistics and Pathway Mapping OpenBabel, LipidMaps, & PubChem ID Exchanger, ChemRich, MetaboAnalyst
- Quantification Skyline, vendor kits TMIC, Avanti, Biocrates
- Electives in the wet lab: LC-Orbitrap MSMS, LC-Triple TOF MSMS, GC-TOF MS and GC-QTOF MS
or work on your own data set
Personalize your experience to your needs!
