11:00 am - 1:00 pm Room: MRGN 121	SPECIAL Analytical Chemistry Seminar “Advances in Targeted Multi-Omics Workflows” by Dr. Karen Yannell , (Cooks group alumna and applications specialist from Agilent Technologies) This Seminar is Hosted by Dr. Bruce Cooper, Associate Scientific Director of the Bindley Bioscience Center. This talk will cover new sample preparation approaches and HPLC-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry tools that provide reproducible and robust multi-Omic measurements. Defined workflows for each Omic (metabolomics, lipidomics, and proteomics) will be presented, together with their applications to plasma and cellular analysis. The event is free and lunch will be provided for registered participants.
