Students who want to propose their own sample set for the practical part should submit a half-page description of the goals and the experimental setup to Dr. Karin Kleigrewe and Dr. Michael Witting until 28th of February 2024.
This course aims to introduce the field of Metabolomics to master students, doctoral candidates and postdocs, which would like to integrate it into their own research. It is applicable to researchers in different fields of the life sciences. Participation in this course will give you the tools to plan and execute metabolomics experiments in collaboration with metabolomics core facilities or collaboration partners. The course will also provide the possibility for small hands-on projects where participant can measure their own samples using the metabolomics technology.
Metabolomics is one of the functional genomics tools, besides transcriptomics and proteomics. Its goal is to comprehensively monitor and quantify metabolites and thereby obtain a snapshot of a systems metabolic state, which can be related to different pathophysiological states.
To do so, metabolomics uses different analytical chemistry tools such as mass spectrometry (MS), with and without hyphenation to prior separation techniques, or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). These tools can be used in two different ways. While non-targeted metabolomics aims to detect as much as possible metabolites semi quantitatively (e.g. fold change), targeted metabolomics focuses on a smaller subset, e.g. metabolites of a specific pathway and quantifies them absolutely.
In order to understand the limitations and possibilities of metabolomics approaches an introduction to different analytical methodologies will be given. Together with the knowledge about experimental design in metabolomics and data analysis strategies the participants are able to plan and conduct metabolomics experiments together with core facilities or metabolomics collaborators and can practice their skills with their own sample sets
Practical part: Hands-on projects at BayBioMS SoLS
Aims:

Dr. Karin Kleigrewe is the Head of the Metabolomics Facility at the Bavarian Center for Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry (BayBioMS).
Dr. Michael Witting did his habilitation at the TUM and is now the Co-Head of the Metabolomics and Proteomics Core at the Helmholtz Center Munich.
Both have more than 10 years of experience in the field of mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. Both like to teach and to enable students to perform their own research.
