This 2-day workshop is aimed at young scientists who have limited or no background in metabolomics. We shall introduce the concept of how to apply metabolomics approaches to plant-based research including: experimental design, the technologies for data generation (LC/GC MS and NMR); data management and (pre)processing; data mining approaches and statistically-sound data interpretation.
Day 1 shall focus on the more practical aspects and Day 2 shall be devoted to all aspects of data handling. There will be lectures during the mornings, while the afternoons will be spent on interactive group learning to solve case studies (first day) and web-based data analysis (second day). The free symposium on 12 December 2019 on Advances in Plant and Food Metabolomics is an integral part of this workshop and attendance for all three days is obligatory.
After the workshop you will have a basic understanding of the requirements and challenges, as well as the potential of metabolomics research.
Registration & selection
Participants for this workshop will be selected on the basis of a short motivation letter (1/2 A4) in which you will have to explain how you intend to use this workshop in your (future) research. If you are interested in participating in this workshop, please send an e-mail to Susan Urbanus (susan.urbanus@wur.nl) and provide the following information: 1) first and last name, 2) your affiliation, 3) whether you are a PhD candidate or postdoc, 4) whether you have an approved TSP, and 5) your motivation letter (1/2 A4). The extended deadline for applying is 14 October 2019. The selection of participants will be made know at the latest on 01 November 2019. Cancellations can be made without costs until 15 November 2019. In case of a no-show or a late cancellation the normal fee will apply. Please note that you will have to register separately for the affiliated symposium.
This workshop and the affiliated symposium have been made possible with sponsoring from the Netherlands Metabolomics Centre, the Nils Foss Excellence Prize, the International Metabolomics Society, the Shared Research Facilities at Wageningen University & Research, Wageningen Campus Connect and the Graduate School EPS.
