Metabolomics: from data to publication

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 handling metabolomics data (from rawdata to biological knowledge) using bioinformatics tools. It will be delivered using a mixture of lectures, computer-based practical sessions and interactive discussions

Audience

This course targets phD students, postdocs

Learning objectives

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

• pre-process LC-MS metabolomics raw data;
• process and analyse 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.

Technical:

Participants must bring a laptop
