Event: May 8, 2025

Host: Ryan Sheldon, Ph.D. (Van Andel Institute Mass Spectrometry Core)

About: Metabolomics is a powerful tool to probe biological phenotypes that provides a perspective not possible with other ‘omics approaches. Translating metabolomic phenotypes to mechanistic understanding is difficult, requiring experimental iteration, innovation, and orthogonal approaches. In this symposium, field leaders will present their work in a “metabolomics first” manner, describing how their research developed from early metabolomics observations to true biological mechanisms.
