About the Training School

The online LIPID MAPS Training School builds on the success of the 2021 Spring School, offering an expert-led introduction to emerging concepts and technologies across the lipidomics landscape. Hosted by Prof. Valerie O'Donnell and Prof. Maria Fedorova, the training school will feature leading researchers. This 5 day training school combines lectures with interactive sessions that deepen understanding of structural, spatial, metabolic, clinical, and systems-level lipidomics. Participants will also have the opportunity to share their work through poster presentations, making this an engaging and comprehensive training experience for researchers at all levels.
