This lipidomics/MRI workshop will be led by Dr. Miroslava Cuperlovic-Culf, Dr. Steffany Bennett, Dr. Eric Smith and VAST trainee Thao Nguyen in Ottawa May 15-16th 2023 (9 AM – 5 PM). Registration for this workshop onsite is limited to 5 persons. Please refer to application for the VAST conference.

The Lipidomics/MRI workshop will provide theoretical and hands-on training in data preparation and analytics lipidomics and MRI voxel correlation networks.  Participants will be provided a intensive crash course in background information about the methods used for data preprocessing going from instrument output to quantified molecular concentrations, as well as training in the range of machine learning and network analyses tools directly applied to MRI and lipidomics data.  The workshop will ask is there a specific relation between the circulating lipidome in plasma with voxel intensity in cortical brain regions of patients with cerebral small vessel disease?  Trainees will learn how to combine data obtained using LC-ESI-MS/MS and MRI.
