Introduction to metabolomics: data acquisition and processing (SBL.20004; 2 ECTS; lecture with practical).
This course is a theoretical and practical introduction to metabolomics (the large scale study of small molecules in complex mixtures). It will cover extraction methods, sample preparation, separation techniques and chromatography, detection procedures and data analysis (quantitative and qualitative). A particular focus will be given to mass spectrometry based metabolomics of specialized metabolomes and its applications in environmental biology and natural products research. The course includes a practical part on GC or LC-MS (Gas Chromatography or Liquid Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry) and data processing.
