Course Description
The field of cancer metabolism has grown tremendously in the past decade, contributing major advancements in our understanding of how to diagnose and treat tumors. Despite this, some of the tools required to study cancer metabolism remain out of reach for many labs. This is particularly true for metabolomics, as it requires deep prior knowledge and sophisticated instrumentation.
This course is designed to acquaint participants with principles and practice of cancer metabolism from the perspective of metabolomics. This course will introduce a major tool in the cancer metabolism field - metabolomics by LC-MS. Participants will get a first-hand theoretical knowledge and practical experience on designing, analyzing, and presenting mass spectrometry-based metabolomics experiments. The course will have a “hands-on” component and will provide an opportunity to incorporate participants’ own samples.
Course Objectives
- Understand the fundamental concepts of LC-MS metabolomics
- Collect, analyze, and visualize LC-MS metabolomics data
- Compare targeted and untargeted LC-MS workflows
- Use the tools to visualize and communicate your data effectively
