MAP/UK TRAINING
The MAP/UK Partnership provides a wealth of educational resources for the UK research community including online courses and e-learning, hands-on training courses, and rich web resouces.
MAP/UK & SCIEX Metabolomics Conference
16-17 April 2024, Alderley Park
Join SCIEX and MAP-UK for this two-day Metabolomics training course and symposium. Attendees can join us for either or both days.
Day 1 on the 16th April - Training Course delivered by the MAP-UK Training Task Group and SCIEX application scientists. The course is targeted towards early-career researchers, researchers new to metabolomics and clinical researchers.
Day 2 on the 17th April - metabolomics symposium, delivered by academics invited by both MAP-UK and SCIEX.

Partner Training courses
This 3-day practical based course hosted by the Liverpool Training Centre for Metabolomics will introduce attendees how to apply LC-MS in untargeted metabolomics. You will gain hands-on experience in the preparation and analysis of samples and data analysis. The course is designed to develop your knowledge, skills and confidence to apply metabolomics in your own research. Bursaries available for MRC-funded researchers. (4-6 March 2024 and 20-22 May 2024).
This week long course hosted by Imperial College London aims to cover how to perform a metabolic profiling experiment, from start to finish. It will cover study design, sample preparation, the use of mass spectrometry for global profiling and targeted methodologies and data analysis (Date: coming soon).
This week-long course hosted by Imperial College London will describe from both theoretical and practical point of views, how to carry on an NMR based metabolic profiling project. It will cover study design, sample preparation, NMR spectrometer set up, quality control, data analysis, and metabolite identification (Date: TBC).
This quick tour provides a brief introduction to EMBL-EBI’s database for Metabolomics experiments and derived information, MetaboLights.
This course provides a basic introduction into the rapidly emerging field of metabolomics and its importance and applications. The course is aimed at individuals with an interest in the large-scale study of small molecules. You will be introduced to the field of metabolomics, approaches applied and how to access metabolomics resources at the EMBL-EBI.
This 4-day course will provide an introduction to metabolomics using publicly available data, software and tools. Participants will become familiar with the current state of experimental design, data acquisition (LC-MS, GC-MS, MS imaging), processing and modelling, community standards and sharing of data via the EMBL-EBI’s MetaboLights repository and Galaxy infrastructure. (Date: 14-17 May 2024, applications close 28 January 2024).
A four-day immersive course in data analysis for metabolic profiling studies, focusing on NMR and LC-MS data. Offers a balanced curriculum with lectures and “hands-on” tutorial sessions. Hosted by Imperial College London. Bursaries available for MRC-funded researchers! (10-14 June 2024).
This 4 day course introduces LC-MS based metabolomics and metabolite identification using both the Q Exactive Plus (QE+) and Orbitrap ID-X Tribrid mass spectrometers (Date: 15-18 May 2024).
The LIPID MAPS Spring School, held in Cardiff in April 2021 focussed on theoretical and practical aspects of lipidomics using state-of-the-art approaches. The event featured more than 20 sessions over five days, covering an introduction to MS-based lipidomics and all aspects from sample preparation, storage, chromatography, instrumentation, and identification using databases including LIPID MAPS. With dedicated session on novel technologies, such as iKnife, REIMS, imaging, and new standards for quantitation and practical tutorials on software and informatics tools for lipidomics. Presentations from the LIPID MAPS Spring School are availabe on the LIPID MAPS youtube channel.
A free online e-learning course which serves as an introduction to and comprehensive overview of metabolic phenotyping studies. Suitable for researchers from various backgrounds with an interest in the classical “metabolomics” workflow and details of some technologies and data analysis tools commonly used.
