ON DEMAND WEBINAR

The Metabolomics Advantage: Elucidating Gene Function, Causality, and Therapeutic Relevance in Population Health

In this short talk, Dr. Annie Evans, Senior Director of R&D at Metabolon, discusses the important role of metabolomics within biological discovery, especially within large population studies. Metabolomics can help uncover the functional phenotype, making connections between genomics, proteomics, and the metabolome which gives insights into how endogenous and exogenous factors can influence well-being. Applying metabolomics to large cohort health studies can help bridge the gap and normalize data between different populations which can identify trends you might not otherwise be able to see.

In this webinar you will learn:

• • How metabolomics can provide insight into the function of genes
  • How large cohort studies can give more power to your research which can identify the importance of even low-frequency and rare variants
  • How multiple genes may influence a single metabolite, causing changes in the phenotype
  • How multiomic studies combining genomics and metabolomics can identify genetic variants associated with drug metabolism
