About this event

Lecture topics:

  • Prof. David Wishart - Tools For Data Integration In Metabolomics
  • Dr. Joram Posma - Systemic nutriome-metabolome interactions to understand pathways to disease risk in humans

Join us to learn from two of the world’s leading researchers in metabolomics and how they are using new approaches to interrogate, fuse and visualize complex omics data.

Prof David Wishart

Prof David Wishart (PhD Yale, 1991) is a Professor in the Departments of Biological Sciences and Computing Science at the University of Alberta. He has directed a number of core labs at the U of A over the years and from 2006-2009, Dr. Wishart led the Human Metabolome Project (HMP), a multi-university, multi-investigator project that catalogued all of the known metabolites in human tissues and biofluids. Using advanced methods in NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, multi-dimensional chromatography and machine learning Dr. Wishart and his colleagues identified or found evidence for more than 8000 endogenous metabolites.

Dr Joram Posma

Dr Joram Posma is Lecturer in Cancer Informatics at the Imperial College Faculty of Medicine and Health Data Research UK Fellow. He is focused on the development of multivariate statistical and bioinformatics for molecular phenotyping to study pathology and mechanisms of disease, with particular focus on the integration of metabolic networks in data analysis, data fusion techniques and immersive data visualisation for cancer, cardiometabolic diseases, and their interface with nutrition.

The Australian National Phenome Centre (ANPC) is one of the most significant health research collaborations realised in Australia. As the international centre of expertise in metabolic phenotyping, its sophisticated biological analysis technology will help revolutionise the diagnosis, prevention and precision treatment of disease.
