BMTC Team Profiles Meet the team providing training to empower the next generation of metabolomics researchers Training Team Dr Ralf Weber Co-Founder and Trainer, Director of Bioinformatics Dr Ralf Weber is a bioinformatician who specialises in developing and applying data processing, biostatistics and data mining tools to derive clear biochemical interpretations of clinical and environmental metabolomics data. Ralf teaches on:Metabolomics with the Q ExactiveMetabolite Identification with the Q Exactive and LTQ Orbitrap EliteMultiple Biofluid and Tissue Types, From Sample Preparation to Analysis Strategies for Metabolomics Dr Andy Southam Trainer, Experimental Officer in Metabolomics & Lipidomics Dr Andy Southam pioneered the development of the direct infusion mass spectrometry spectral-stitching method as part of his PhD at the University of Birmingham. Andy teaches on:Introduction to Metabolomics for the MicrobiologistMultiple Biofluid and Tissue Types, From Sample Preparation to Analysis Strategies for Metabolomics Dr Gavin Lloyd Trainer, Experimental Officer in Biostatistics Dr Gavin Lloyd obtained his PhD in 2009 at the University of Bristol, on the development of chemometrics and pattern recognition techniques for multivariate datasets. Gavin teaches on:Introduction to Metabolomics for the Microbiologist Advisors Professor Mark Viant Co-Founder and Advisor Professor Mark Viant’s expertise lies in the field of metabolomics. His research spans from method development in analytical chemistry and bioinformatics through to the application of metabolomics to environmental toxicology. Mark's experience organising the NERC Biomolecular Analysis Facility Birmingham (NBAF-B) metabolomics masterclasses was pivotal to undertaking and publishing Training needs in metabolomics, which led to the founding of the BMTC.
