CNWY40140 Emerging 'Omic' Technologies
About the course
This module is designed for students who wish to understand principles, practice and applications of new “omics” technologies; metabolomics, glycomics and lipidomics, and their impact on modern biology, as well as to critically assess their applications to problems of clinical and commercial relevance.
Credits ECTS 2.5
Dates June 17th-24th 2013
Schedule Monday - Friday (10am - 5pm)
Module co-ordinator Dr Giuliano Elia
Venue NIBRT & UCD Conway Institute
Registration OPEN - Deadline: June 7th 2013
Places available Limited to 10
Course structure
The module will be delivered in 5 stand-alone blocks; each one composed of 3hr seminar-style sessions (mornings) and 4hr practical exercises/dry sessions on study design (afternoons).
Credit requirements
You will be assessed on the basis of:
- End course evaluation session: based on multi-choice questions (MCQ) and problem-based assessment.
What does it cover?
- Introduction to glycomics
- Glycomics methods and applications
- Lipidomics
- Introduction to metabolomics
- Metabolomics applications
Why enrol?
On completion, you will be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge of the biology of glycoproteins and their functional roles
- Have acquired understanding of methods for release of complex glycans from glycoproteins and their analysis
- Demonstrate critical awareness of clinical and industrial applications of glycomics science
- Be familiar with the different techniques to study protein-protein interactions
- Demonstrate understanding of lipidomics, lipid analysis techniques and their applications
- Understand the principles of metabolomics and related techniques and demonstrate knowledge of options available for different samples
- Have acquired an appreciation of the metabolomic data analysis strategies
- Be aware and demonstrate an understanding of applications of metabolomics
