Course Overview
This 3-day course provides a theoretical overview and hands-on training to apply multiple sample preparation and UPLC-MS methods to characterise the metabolomes of complex biological samples using the mass spectrometer (Xevo QToF G2-XS - a maximum of 4 people working on the instrument in a session). The course is led by experts in the field who have experience of the analysis of microbial, plant and mammalian samples, and illustrates the different approaches that are available to analyse a range of biological samples and applying complementary liquid chromatography approaches to maximise the coverage of the metabolome.

"The course is wonderfully designed for the people who are already working in metabolomics and even for the new comers. Besides the course, I must say that the people involved (Prof Dunn, Cath, Ralf and David) were very friendly and helpful. They encouraged us to get in touch with them if we come across any difficulties which was very satisfying. I would highly recommend this course irrespective of your field (academic or industry)."
Swapnil
"Everyone was very nice and willing to help me out with the metabolomics issues I am currently having in my project/lab. Everything was very well explained and overall the course was very informative in terms of metabolomics principles and practicality."
Leonor
"The course was amazing very informative, the staff were super helpful and extremely professional and nice."
Shira
"Attending this course was the best thing that could happen to me for my start into the field of metabolomics and I really enjoyed it."
