Metabolomics - Perspectives in Research, Biotechnology and Medicine
Ten years ago the term "Metabolome", which defines the entire metabolic content of a cell or organism at a given time point, was introduced to the scientific community. Monitoring results of qualitative and quantitative analysis of a high number of metabolites reflects the functional status of biological entities at the fundamental metabolic basis. During the last decade, metabolomics closed an important gap in the area of post genome research. Determining the information flow from genome to transcriptome, proteome and finally metabolome allows, for the first time, a comprehensive description of living systems. To establish models and data sets for a precise simulation and prediction of physiological properties of cells, however, in silico reconstructions of metabolic pathways and high performance empirical metabolomic studies technologies are essential. The next logical step in metabolomics is to link metabolite pool measurements with metabolic fluxes and gene regulation, to fully cover the dynamics of living systems. Beside the causal analysis of living systems, metabolomics is ideally suited to search for novel biomarkers in medical diagnostics or for monitoring the success of pharmacological intervention. Further aspects of metabolomics range from biotechnology to environmental sensing to food quality applications.
This second metabolomics meeting hosted by the DECHEMA aims to cover trends ranging from technical developments in analytics, integration of metabolomics into systems biology to biomarker discovery in health nutrition and medical aspects.
The Scientific Committee invites you to submit a contribution for a poster presentation via file upload until April 7, 2011 .
Contributions are invited to the following sessions:
· Methods for Metabolomics
· Microbial Metabolomics
· Plant Metabolomics
· Metabolomics for phenotyping and diagnostics in mammals and humans
· Computational data integration
The abstracts should explicitly mention objectives, new results, conclusions and significance of the work. The selection of posters will be based on the review of 1-page abstracts by the committee. Authors will be informed in April 2011about the acceptance of their papers. These posters will be announced in the book of abstracts being available at the conference.
The abstract should be typed single-spaced (12 pt Arial Font or equivalent, 2.5 cm margins, page size A4 or US Letter) and should include the title, authors, affiliations and addresses. Please prepare your abstract by using the template . Please save the file on your computer.
