Summary

You are invited to a specialized workshop on the quantitative dynamics of metabolism. Move beyond traditional omics and learn to measure the real-time flow of metabolites in living systems.

Join us for a cutting-edge, hands-on workshop led by a pioneer in the field:
Workshop Title: Systemic in vivo ¹³C Tracing and Metabolic Flux Modeling for Energy Homeostasis
Date & Time: 14:30 – 17:30, Friday, January 6
Venue: N002, PolyU
Speaker: Dr. Yuan, Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Molecular Metabolism, Harvard University

Gain Critical Research Skills:

  • Learn about a novel, paradigm-shifting framework for in vivo metabolic flux analysis, including the "Multiscale Metabolic Flux Analysis" algorithm that reveals whole-body, multi-organ energy metabolism.
  • Acquire hands-on experience in the fundamentals of isotope tracing and data interpretation. The session will cover isotope dilution, rates of appearance/disappearance, mass isotopomer analysis, and building exemplary mathematical models for flux calculation.
  • Understand common pitfalls in data analysis to ensure accuracy and confidence in your own research.
    Engage directly with Dr. Yuan, a recognized expert whose pioneering work in this methodology has been published in leading journals such as Cell Metabolism.
  • This workshop is specifically designed for RPg students in Biomedical Sciences, Food & Nutritional Sciences, Chemical Biology, Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, and all metabolism-related fields.
