Introduction to Metabolomics for the Microbiologist
30 January - 1 February 2019



This three-day course will introduce the attendees in how untargeted metabolomics can be applied to study microbial systems in academic and industrial research. The course will provide an overview of the metabolomics pipeline from experimental design to sample preparation and data acquisition to data analysis/interpretation. The course will be led by experts in the field of metabolomics and will include lectures, hands-on laboratory sessions in sample preparation and data acquisition and computer workshops focused on data processing and data analysis.

Topics covered:

Introduction to metabolomics, both targeted and untargeted approaches

Experimental design and the importance of quality control samples in untargeted metabolomics

Analytical strategies applied in metabolomics with a focus on mass spectrometry

Hands-on laboratory sessions focused on sample preparation and to include metabolic quenching and extraction procedures, intracellular and exometabolome samples and polar and non-polar extraction methods

Hands-on laboratory sessions focused on sample analysis for untargeted metabolomics studies using an Acquity UPLC coupled to a Xevo QToF mass spectrometer

Hands-on workshop focused on data processing and data analysis

Hands-on workshop focused on an introduction to metabolite identification

Question and answer session with the experts
