Free Seminar: Waters UPLC Care and Feeding Seminar, July 31, 2018, 9:00am-12:00pm

Tuesday, July 31, 2018
University of Missouri – Columbia
Bond Life Sciences Center
Room 572
1201 Rollins Street
Columbia, MO 65201
Seminar: 9:00am-12:00pm

Please join our lab and Waters for a free learning event.

In 2004, separation science was revolutionized with the introduction of Waters’ Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography [UPLC Technology]. Significant advances in instrumentation and column technology were made to achieve dramatic increases in resolution, speed and sensitivity in liquid chromatography. Whether the separation goal is to achieve ultra-fast analysis, increase throughput while maintaining resolution, improving resolution while decreasing analysis time or achieve ultra-high resolution, the flexibility of the ACQUITY UPLC Systems enable method requirements to be met.  Join us for a technology seminar designed to provide new, existing and potential UPLC users the
ability to understand how UPLC Technology works, and best practices for successful operation and maintenance.

Prof. David Wishart visits the University of Missouri and Sumner lab

Prof. David Wishart from the University of Alberta, Canada visited the University of Missouri and Sumner lab as a Department Biochemistry Seminar Series speaker November 10, 2017.  He also provided an overview of the Human Metabolome Database and Tutorial on their software tool MetaboAnalyst on November 11, 2017.

 

Metabolomics for Precision Medicine

David S. Wishart, Professor, Depts. of Biological Sciences and Computing Science, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada

Simply stated, precision medicine is about providing the right diagnosis to the right patient and then giving the right drug at the right dose at the right time. In order to get all these things “right” it is essential to have precise methods to accurately diagnose and monitor patients. One of the best routes for doing this is by looking at the chemicals (or metabolites) found in patients using advanced analytical technologies such as mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. In particular, metabolomics offers a remarkably quick and inexpensive route to measure an individual’s “molecular phenotype”. In this presentation I will provide a brief history of precision medicine and describe how metabolomics has become integral to the long-term vision for precision health. I will also provide some specific examples illustrating how metabolomics is already being used for a variety of precision medicine applications ranging from cancer screening to the prediction of diabetes. I will conclude this presentation by providing some examples of how metabolomics can be integrated with other “omics” techniques to provide even more precise medical information.

56th Annual Phytochemistry Society of North America Meeting, to be held August 5-9, 2017 in Columbia, MO

Dear Colleagues,

We eagerly invite you to attend and participate in the 56th Annual Phytochemistry Society of North America Meeting (PSNA 2017), to be held August 5-9, 2017 at the University of Missouri-Columbia, MO, USA.

The 2017 PSNA meeting organizing committee has planned an outstanding agenda for this year’s meeting! Details can be found in the attached flyer and online at http://muconf.missouri.edu/PSNA2017/.

Registration (http://muconf.missouri.edu/PSNA2017/Registration.html) and abstract submission (http://muconf.missouri.edu/PSNA2017/Abstracts.html) are open and substantial discounts are provided for students. We encourage you to attend and present. A substantial number of oral presentations will be selected from the abstracts, but the ABSTRACT DUE date is this FRIDAY, JULY 14th, 2017.

The University of Missouri is beautiful historic campus steeped in agricultural research. Located roughly mid-way between Kansas City and St. Louis, and near the resurgent Missouri River wine country, there are plenty of things to see and do in Missouri. Make your plans to attend today!
