Lipidomics Workshop at EB2009
New Orleans Convention Center, Room 346
Saturday, April 18
8:00 AM - 1:00 PM
The LIPID MAPS Consortium is conducting an open Lipidomics Workshop at Experimental Biology 2009. Experts will discuss methods that have been developed under an NIH (NIGMS) Glue Grant for analysis of neutral glycerolipids, phospholipids, eicosanoids, sterols, sphingolipids, prenols and novel lipids by mass spectrometry as well as related issues such as sample extraction, internal standards, data handling and display, and nomenclature. In addition to reviewing LIPID MAPS protocols, the panel will invite questions and discussion regarding guidelines for lipidomics research and publications, and issues and the directions of future lipidomics technologies and applications.
Attendance is free but registration for Experimental Biology 2009 is required.
The Lipidomics Workshop is being presented under the auspices of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) with funding from the LIPID MAPS NIGMS Glue Grant (U54 GM069338) and Avanti Polar Lipids.
