Conference Description
The Metabolomics and Human Health GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
Metabolomics, the study of small molecules and biochemical reactions within organisms, is at the forefront of scientific innovation for better understanding human health and disease. The key potential lies in the idea that the human metabolome provides a quantifiable and direct readout for health and disease states and provides valuable insights into how metabolism influences human physiology. This year, we are excited to explore a wide variety of metabolomics topics ranging from cutting-edge method development and innovative bench research to their clinical applications in human health and disease. However, human health and disease is a result of a multitude of complex interactions spanning several biological systems. Thus, integrating metabolomics data with those of other -omics technologies provides powerful insights into biological function that can be clinically applied. Join us as we explore the latest research findings, discuss innovative approaches, and discover how metabolomics is shaping clinical practice and patient care. As is the goal of a GRS, this seminar highlights pre-published work from trainee and early-career scientists and provides a space that allows for the free exchange of ideas and fosters new collaborations that can have a transformative impact on the future of human health.
