Metabolite identification with the Q Exactive and LTQ Orbitrap
November 5 - 6, 2020
Birmingham Metabolomics Training Centre, University of Birmingham, United Kingdom
Overview
This 2-day course will provide a hands-on approach to teach the attendees about the latest techniques and tools available to perform metabolite identification in non- targeted metabolomics studies. The course will be led by experts working within the fields of metabolomics and chemical analysis and will include a significant proportion of hands-on experience of using mass spectrometers, software tools and databases. A maximum of four people will be working on each mass spectrometer in a session. We will apply these tools on the Q Exactive and LTQ-Orbitrap family of mass spectrometers.
Topics covered
- Importance of mass spectral interpretation
- Types of data which can be collected on the QE and LTQ-Orbitrap (m/z, retention time, MS/MS, MSn)
- Conversion of raw data to molecular formula and putative metabolite annotations
- MS/MS experiments in metabolic phenotyping for on-line data acquisition using the QE (DDA, DIA, all- ion)
- MS/MS and MSn experiments for sample fractions using the LTQ-Orbitrap
- Mass spectral libraries (using mzCloud)
- Searching mass spectral libraries
- Tools for mass spectral interpretation
- Reporting standards for metabolite identification
- Question and answer session with the experts
Virtual Podium 2020 Asia Pacific
November 5 – 27, Every Friday
Virtually
Pricing: Free
Event Website: https://www.virtualpodium-asiapacific.com/
Overview:
Virtual Podium 2020 Asia Pacific was established to promote scientific discussion and engagement in Metabolomics and Lipidomics in the Asia Pacific region during this COVID-19 pandemic.
Keep the omics together while distancing each other! Due to COVID-19, in Asia Pacific region we are unable to travel and impacted by the cancellation of conferences. The virtual podium will be the only way to connect with our omics community and let's get together in the region, when we all are in the same time frame.
On March 20th, 2020, as the impact of COVID-19, Virtual Podium 2020 has launched to share, present, and challenge the science of mass spectrometry-based biology. In Asia Pacific region, join via Virtual Podium Asia Pacific—a platform and opportunity for creating a sense of community and providing opportunities to present and learn about compelling scientific research in fields centered on chemistry, biology, and informatics. This second event is tailored to connect omics community within the Asia Pacific region.
Join us online every Friday to hear innovative lightning talks and expert keynote speakers discuss the latest research on Omics-related studies, including Metabolomics and Lipidomics.
Every voice is important!

Targeting CNS Tumor Metabolism Symposium
April 6-7, 2021
NIH Campus, Bethesda, Maryland
Event postponed from October 26-27, 2020 to April 6-7, 2021
This is the first conference that focuses on the tumor metabolism and it is expected to be a didactic and collegial learning environment. Metabolic investigations for these tumors have been conducted in isolation and the goal of this meeting is to bring together the clinicians with the experts in metabolism to increase the utilization of metabolic investigations in the clinical settings. This will, in turn, enhance partnerships and advance the treatment for patients.
In addition to oral and poster presentations selected from the submitted abstracts, the conference will feature invited lectures from an internationally recognized faculty, including keynote talks from Craig Thompson, MD (President and CEO of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center) and Paul Mischel, MD (Distinguished Professor, University of California San Diego).
Abstract Submission deadline is Tuesday, December 1, 2020, 11:59pm CST.
