What you’ll learn

A one-day workshop focusing on environmental metabolomics as a tool for the exposome. The morning will outline the overall methods of applying metabolomics in experimental, clinical and population-based exposure studies and provide examples of current research across each area. The afternoon will be a hands-on session analyzing example datasets using various R-packages and other common analysis tools. Highlighted tools include:

• apLCMS, LC-MS metabolomics feature extraction (R-package)
• xMSanalyzer (R-package)
• xMSpanda (new R-package, soon-to-be released)
• Mummichog, pathway and network analysis for high-throughput metabolomics

From start to finish, participants will be able to walk through the process of analyzing raw metabolomics data, including challenges of identifying environmental chemicals, data quality assessment, filtering and batch correction, statistical versus bioinformatics approaches, and pathway and network mapping.
