METABO-OPEN 2 in 2022

metabo-open-2022

15 - 17 June 2022

Statistics & Testimonials

DATE: June 15th – 17th, 2022

Venue: Online!

Host: Fondazione Edmuch Mach, San Michele all’Adige, Italy 

BRIEF PROGRAM:

After the success of the first METABO-OPEN Training School, which was followed by more than 100 people with 30 trainees for the hands-on sessions, we now propose a revised second edition of the school, full of new content, in order to implement best practices in managing data and metadata in metabolomics.

On Day 1 there will be plenary lectures concerning tools for data phenotyping and experimental design, workflow for untargeted metabolomics including preprocessing and quality assessment, spectral libraries, metabolite annotation, and identification; lectures on the role and the use of MetaboLights in hosting metabolomics studies, and applied examples of metabolomic studies in grapevine.
During the hand-on Days 2 and 3, reserved for a maximum of 30 trainees, there will be special classes on R and XCMS, MS-Dial, Metabo Analyst, MetaboLights, and metabolite annotations.

The work will be disseminated through the website (http://www.integrape.eu), social media (Facebook, Twitter), as well as through webinars.

SELECTION CRITERIA OF TRAINEES

Evaluation of applications will be based on the following criteria:

Postdocs, Ph.D. students, PIs, and bioinformaticians working in metabolomics related to grapevine with a high motivation to spread these good practices learned during the training school.

A maximum of 30 trainees will be selected for the practical parts (day 2 and 3) based on a motivation letter or reason to participate 

The training school is free to attend, but travel expenses will not be reimbursed as the training school will be online.
