The Mayo Clinic CTSA will host a metabolomics workshop at the Mayo Clinic campus in Rochester, Minn., on April 16. The workshop is aimed at translational science investigators, KL2 and other K-award scholars, and research fellows interested in this emerging field.
National and international visiting faculty, as well as Mayo Clinic faculty, will speak at the workshop. In addition to learning about metabolomics techniques and applications, attendees will have the opportunity to network with colleagues and tour Mayo’s metabolomics facilities. Also outlined will be the novel analytical tools at the Mayo CTSA’s Metabolomics Core.
Metabolomics deals with the measurement of small molecules in biological systems. These small molecule “metabolites,” when examined in healthy and diseased states, can offer insight into metabolic status and biological changes in an organism. Metabolomics has the potential to detect diseases and their progression, monitor response to therapy, and highlight targets for drug design.
