PNNL-Led Instruction Session

Saturday, March 9 and Sunday, March 10, 2024

Short Course: Mass Spectrometry Imaging-based Spatial Metabolomics: Advances, Applications, and Integration with Other 'Omics

Presenter: Christopher Anderton
9:00 A.M. – Noon PT, each day

Metabolites encompass molecular classes such as small bioactive molecules and lipids, and these molecules are directly linked to cellular processes, response to injury, progression to disease, and can serve as guiding markers of cell types and disease states. Notably, metabolomics measurements can provide direction insights into the function of genes and proteins, as well as cellular states. Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a dynamic and thriving arena of research that works to uncover the spatial biology of health and disease. The MSI field has advanced greatly over more than 25 years with diverse applications, and MSI is becoming an extremely popular method for performing spatial metabolomics (down to single-cell resolution). This course will be a combination of education on state-of-the-art MSI and discussion with MSI experts on state-of-the-art imaging studies. Lectures will include examples of sample preparation, instrumentation, and practical application of topics.
