Metabolomics Mini -symposium

This mini-symposium will present advances in state-of-the-art analytical development, sample preparation, data analysis and key applications for both global and targeted metabolomics applications.

What is Metabolomics?

Metabolomics research investigates the complex mixture of metabolites in any sample type and is the newest omics-research field with several applications in biomedical sciences. The main potency of metabolomics is the close relation of metabolites to the phenotypes of living organisms and provide information on biochemical processes on a molecular level. This parallel analysis of metabolites holds a huge opportunity to uncover fundamental insights linked to disease development. High quality sample handling, analysis techniques and data analysis are required to identify biomedical relevant metabolic alterations.

The program

The Mini-symposium program starts March 5 at 08.15 hrs with registration and will then cover four session during the day. The program ends with a symposium dinner at 18.00 hrs
