Mastering Metabolomics: How to Generate and Validate Chemical Data on Foods, Blood, and Organs in Complex Studies
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:
- Use metabolomics data to understand biochemistry and metabolism.
- Evaluate and choose the most appropriate techniques for sample preparation and data acquisition.
- Consider study design and quality control factors, including power analysis, quality, and confidence metrics.
- Gain expertise in LC-MS raw data, including challenges like in-source fragmentation and adducts
- Implement data curation best practices through hands-on exercises with metabolomics and exposome datasets.
- Develop skills in univariate and multivariate statistics, including regression analysis and Bayesian statistics.
- Mine biological information from chemical identifiers, perform pathway mapping, and conduct enrichment analysis for comprehensive data interpretation.
- Learn current compound identification methods in metabolomics, lipidomics, and exposome analyses, including MS/MS and retention time matching, in-silico tools such as MS-FINDER and SIRIUS+CSIFingerID, and utilize new resources like MassWiki.
- Understand the significance of quantification in nontargeted studies and multiomics data integration.
- Re-use existing datasets reported in Metabolomics Workbench to integrate or compare your data with prior studies.
New this year: Personalize your experience to your needs!
Different datasets (food composition and natural products, exposome, metabolomics, and lipidomics) for your hands-on learning experience!
