SUMMARY:A look into the cell’s warehouse with metabolomics - Sara Dietz

CONTACT:Dr James Kirkbride
DESCRIPTION:After deciphering the human genome in the late 90s\, scientist
 s thought to be truly close to understanding the molecular processes in a 
 single cell. But since then it became clear that the genome alone\, a pure
  building plan of a cell\, does not tell you which part of it is actually 
 used e.g. which genes are functional and when. To answer this question\, t
 he field of systems biology emerged concerned to characterise cellular fun
 ction on every level. Metabolomic studies aim to give a precise overview o
 f the metabolomic status and global biochemical events in a biological sys
 tem associated with environmental factors and diseases.  This talk will gi
 ve an introduction to the field of metabolomics as well as its application
  in the study of brain cancer.
