Metabolomics Symposium

How metabolomics can help your research: 

Metabolism impacts or is impacted by virtually every cellular process. Altered metabolism is one of the hallmarks for many diseases, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Metabolomics studies have revealed important findings in systems biology and biomarker discovery.

This informative event includes presentations, keynote and a tour of our facilities. 

Note: Registration is limited to 50 participants. The tour is limited to 20 participants.
