Educational Workshop: Practical Applications of Metabolomics
Wednesday, May 1, 2013
Auditorium: BRB II/III
8:30AM- 2:00PM
To register: www.metabolon.com/PhiladelphiaWorkshop
Presenting case studies:
- Kirk Pappan, Ph.D., Metabolon, Inc.
"Discovery Biochemical Profiling for Problem Solving in Biology & Disease"
- Michael J. Wolfgang, Ph.D., Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
"Unraveling Novel Enzyme Function In Situ Using Metabolomics"

"Fundamentals in Metabolomic Technology & Application"
Metabolomics: the profiling of biochemicals and metabolites has broad applications in understanding complex biological systems. As metabolomics platforms have become more robust, applications of the technology have moved from basic research in university labs to solving practical problems in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and consumer products industries. This will provide an overview of the current state of metabolomics and how the technology has been applied to solve a variety of problems including:
- Understanding disease mechanism
- Identifying biomarkers
- Elucidating mechanism-of-action of a drug/ingredient
- Unraveling off-target effects of a drug/ingredient
- Profiling biochemical changes for bioprocess/fermentation optimization
- Establish/support claims
Round table discussions:discuss applications, study design and sample preparation in your targeted area of research. When registering, please select which round table matches your area of interest:
- Cell Culture & Fermentation
- Discovery Biology & Nutrition
- Drug Discovery & Development
Additional Details:
There is no cost to attend. Coffee/pastries and lunch will be provided. Posters highlighting impactful case studies in a variety of therapeutic areas will also be available for viewing.
