Virtual Instructor-Led Course (Online)

During this 1-week course, you will gain hands-on experience working with actual untargeted metabolomics data, which will cover a range of topics including LC-MS data processing, compound identification, statistical analysis, network mapping, and data interpretation including:

• Untargeted data processing and exercises on MS-DIAL.
• Exercises in the identification of unknowns by cheminformatics software workflows
• Data normalization and transformation with and without internal standards and quality controls
• Multivariate and univariate statistics 
• Pathway mapping and enrichment analysis

Bits & Bites #03: Mass Spectrometry Imaging 101: Sample Preparation with Dr. Elizabeth Neumann - UC Davis on April 27, 2023

Sign-up for this new course on mass spec imaging!

About this course: Do you want to learn to analyze mass spectrometry images? This short course covers tissue sample preparation through data acquisition, using a mix of video, PowerPoint, and group discussion. By the end, you'll be ready to begin your own mass spectrometry imaging research.
