Tracer Metabolomics Course
General context
Tracer metabolomics is a powerful technology to study and understand metabolic alterations underlying disease, treatment, mutations, etc. However, the interpretation of tracer metabolomics results is highly technical, as the metabolites’ abundances, tracer incorporation and positions on the metabolic map all have to be jointly interpreted. This two-days course will introduce researchers to the concepts needed to understand the results of a tracer metabolomics analysis, and then show how to interpret them. Spatial metabolomics will also be discussed.
This training will be a combination of lectures and hands-on training. There will be a guided tour in the Metabolomics Core. The participants will need to bring their own laptop and will be informed on which software needs to be installed about one week before the start of the course.
This course is aimed at any scientific personnel that is interested in learning the basics of metabolomics, or those who have experience with regular metabolomics but wish to know more about tracer metabolomics.
