Metabolomics
In this course, analytical methods for the identification of metabolites are discussed.
The analysis of metabolomes is the most recent pillar of omics techniques, which also include genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics. Metabolomics is used to identify new natural products, for example from microorganisms or plants, but also biomarkers for the diagnosis of diseases in a clinical setting.
The lecture includes an application-oriented introduction to the analytical techniques and the interpretation of the collected data. This will also include hands-on learning of the application of big data analysis. In addition, selected case studies will be used to illustrate the breadth and significance of the field.
The lecture is open to students of biochemistry and chemistry as well as interested PhD students.
Literature recommendations will be given in the lecture and made accessible in the moodle course, the lecture notes will be released in the moodle course.
Access to the moodle course is open, no password required.
