NSCPHD1281 Introduction to Nutritional Metabolomics
The course will provide an introduction to the LC-MS based nutritional metabolomics studies, aiming to cover key steps such as study design, sample collection and analysis, data handling methodologies and metabolite identification.
The students will go through common steps in a typical metabolomics study. Therefore, the major focus will be application of various free or commercial tools for data preprocessing, data analysis, and metabolite identification with computer based hands-on training using example datasets that will be provided to the students.
The course will finalize by presentations of reports generated by the students based on a case study.
SCIENCE and NordFOOD homepages only. A limit of 8 participants has been set this year.
The aim of this course is to introduce the student to all phases in a nutritional metabolomics study and to train the student in the use of available tools for data handling and data analysis. The course will focus on LC-MS metabolomics and other analytical platforms are only mentioned briefly.
After completing the course the students should be able to:
- Evaluate the effect of study design on data handling and interpretation of final outcome
- Suggest the sample type to analyze for a specific research question and propose the relevant sample collection and preparation procedure
- Understand the basic principles of LC-MS technology
- Carry out data preprocessing and analysis using bioinformatics tools for LC-MS based metabolomics data
- Interpret the MS/MS spectra and use other common strategies for identification of metabolites
