Conference Description
The Metabolomics and Human Health GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
Metabolomics is the comprehensive study of the metabolome, the repertoire of metabolites present in cells, tissues, and body fluids. More recently, these metabolites are being implicated in the development of unhealthy ageing and diseases, positive and negative impacts of interaction with the exposome and the promotion of human health. The human metabolic profile is influenced by a number of factors including diet, genetics, environmental factors and the microbiome. Understanding the influence of these factors at a cellular and systemic level is key to deciphering the role of metabolites in human health and promotion of lifespan. In this Gordon Conference series, we highlight state of the art metabolomics technologies and how such technologies can be used to study human health. The conference will cover exciting new applications in the field such as epidemiology, cancer, nutrition, analytical chemistry and bioinformatics and translation to human benefit.
The conference will consist of nine sessions, on the topics listed below. The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions. The preliminary program will be available by May 8, 2024. Please check back for updates.
