HUM-MOLGEN events: 3rd Annual Metabolic Profiling

HUM-MOLGEN -> Events -> Meetings and Conferences

September 12, 2003

Cambridge Healthtech Institute, The Hyatt Regency Princeton, Princeton, New Jersey
December 8-10, 2003

The completion of draft sequences for the human genome has focused attention on the tremendous effort still required to understand the function of expressed genes, and the way in which genes and the proteins they encode interact within cells and organisms. Metabolomics, or the analysis of all cellular metabolites, provides a powerful new tool for gaining insight into functional biology. A snapshot of the level of numerous small molecules within a cell or a biofluid and how those levels change under different conditions is complementary to gene expression and proteomic studies. Metabolic profiling is actively being applied to studies of drug toxicity, drug efficacy and model organisms, as well as humans and plants. This pioneering conference will explore developments in tools for acquisition of profiling data, computational approaches for analysis and modeling based on such data, as well as practical applications of metabolic profiling. Researchers active in any of these areas should consider submitting proposals for oral or poster presentations, and make plans to attend the meeting.
