Using Metabolomics Data in Network Medicine

This one-day module will focus on metabolomics data and the analytical challenges this type of data presents. There will be a combination of lectures that introduce analytic techniques and hands-on workshops where participants will have the opportunity to apply these techniques to analyze metabolomics data. Topics will include general metabolomics data analysis, pathway analysis, dynamic systems, and integrative approaches with other omics data.

Time commitment

One day

Audience

• Population-based researchers interested in using metabolomics data to understand disease mechanisms.
• Researchers interested in developing methods with metabolomics data.
• Basic scientists interested in applying metabolomics data in their research.

*The module will emphasize metabolomics data in epidemiology; however researchers in other subfields are encouraged to apply.

We believe that the research community is strengthened by understanding how a number of factors including gender identity, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, culture, religion, national origin, language, disability, and age shape the environment in which we live and work, affect each of our personal identities, and impacts all areas of human health.
