Introduction to plant metabolomics

28-29 September 2017

in collaboration with CUSO doctoral program in Sciences pharmaceutiques

Flyer

Speakers

  • Professor Jean-Luc Wolfender, Phytochemistry & Bioactive Natural Products  and  Pharmacognosy, Université de Genève
  • Professor Serge Rudaz, Biomedical and metabolomics analysis, Université de Genève
  • Dr Julien Boccard, Biomedical and metabolomics analysis, Université de Genève
  • Dr Gaëtan Glauser, Neuchâtel Platform of Analytical Chemistry, Université de Neuchâtel

Objectives

This short course intends to provide a general overview of the analytical tools as well as the data mining mandatory in plant metabolomics. Examples of different strategies in modern plant biology will be presented as well as practical aspects in MS and data treatment.

Contents

On a first day, the analytical tools, including separative and non separative approaches such as NMR, MS and various mode of chromatography will be presented:

  • 1. Introduction on metabolomics
  • 2. Sample preparation
  • 3. Non-separative analytical methods : spectral and detection techniques, including NMR, IR, MS , MS low high resolution analyser, NMR principle, type of data
  • 4. Separative Techniques : GC, CE and LC including Rapid Analysis in LC
  • 5. Hyphenation to separation techniques (MS)

Day two is dedicated to Knowledge discovery and biomarker ID:

  • 6. Consideration in MS Data Acquisition (Lab visit)
  • 7. Consideration in Data analysis (including PCA demo on Excel)
  • 8. Hyphenation and identification aspect (MS and NMR)
  • 9. General strategy and examples in plant Metabolomics and systems biology
