State of Metabolomics Technologies in Translational Research

Posted

Date: Friday, September 17, 2010

Location: Bethesda, MD

NIH’s National Center for Research Resources and the NIH Office of Intramural Research will sponsor a one-day symposium designed to share the latest advances in metabolomics technologies.

Metabolomics is an emerging field with tremendous potential to advance our understanding of human health and disease and to inform the development of personalized approaches to disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment. To better understand the potential that this field offers, the trans-NIH Metabolomics Special Interest Group (SIG) is sponsoring a symposium to learn about some of the latest advances in the field. By bringing together NIH-funded metabolomics researchers with other NIH scientists, symposium organizers expect to provide insights into the following:

  • How emerging metabolomics technologies are being and can be applied specifically for translational research, and
  • Potential collaboration among NIH intramural investigators and extramural scientists supported by NIH institutes and centers.

Submit a poster or register an exhibit by August 27, 2010. Space is on a first-come, first-served basis.

For more information, including limited options for participating in the conference via videocast, contact Jessica Santos at jsantos@palladianpartners.com or 301-650-8660.
