The aim of studying and bibliography

The main aim of study:
Metabolomics is the systematic study of the unique chemical fingerprints that specific cellular processes leave behind. It is the study of their small-molecule metabolite profiles. The metabolome represents the collection of all metabolites in a biological organism, which are the end products of its gene expression. Metabolic profiling can give an instantaneous snapshot of the physiology of that cell/organ/organism. The aim of this module is to transfer knowledge regarding metabolites, metabolic profiling methods and also about analysis of metabolic information derived from single compounds and from complex metabolomic profiles.

The general information about the module:
Module is realised in second semester. Contain 15 hours of lectures and 30 hours of laboratory classes. Module ends with an exam.
