Metabolomics Data Processing and Data Analysis
21 October-15 November 2019


Overview
This online course explores the tools and approaches that are used to process and analyse metabolomics data. You will investigate the challenges that are typically encountered in the analysis of metabolomics data, and provide solutions to overcome these problems. The course is delivered using a combination of short videos, articles, discussions, and online workshops with step-by-step instructions and test data sets. We provide quizzes, polls and peer review exercises each week, so that you can review your learning throughout the course.

The material is delivered over a four week period, with an estimated learning time of four hours per week. We support your learning via social discussions where you will be able post questions and comments to the team of educators and the other learners on the course. In the final week of the course there is a live question and answer session with the entire team of educators. If you do not have time to complete the course during the 4-week period you will retain access to the course material to revisit, as you are able.

Topics covered

An introduction to metabolomics

An overview of the untargeted metabolomics workflow

The influence of experimental design and data acquisition on data analysis and data quality

Processing of NMR data

Processing direct infusion mass spectrometry data

Processing liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry data

Reporting standards and data repositories

Data analysis, detecting outliers and drift, and pre-treatment methods

Univariate data analysis

Multivariate data analysis (including unsupervised and supervised approaches)

The importance of statistical validation of results

Computational approaches for metabolite identification and translation of results into biological knowledge

What are the future challenges for data processing and analysis in metabolomics

Cost

Standard Registration: £250
