Computational Metabolomics Workshop

Event Date

29-30 April 2025

The FT Metabolomics Research Group at the University of Johannesburg (UJ), in partnership with the African Centre for Gene Technologies invites you to a two-day computational metabolomics workshop focused on the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in metabolomics spectral data analysis. This workshop will introduce powerful computational workflows and tools for the interpretation of LC-MS/MS data.

Workshop Overview

Facilitated by a team from the University of Antwerp (Belgium) and University of Johannesburg, the sessions will cover topics such as bioinformatics and machine learning for metabolomics data analysis, unsupervised clustering of mass spectra, spectral library searching and molecular networking, and open-source tools like GNPS and mzMine. Participants will gain practical experience in processing real-world datasets using cutting-edge platforms and approaches that are reshaping metabolomics research globally. The workshop is designed for researchers working across different disciplines such as in plant, environmental, and food metabolomics.
