Microbiome Sequencing Workshop
January 9, 2020 - 9:30 am - 4:00 pm
Half day workshop exploring the applications of microbiome research and currently used techniques and tools. Attendees will learn how to sequencing the microbiome and how to apply that data to determine the connection between gene expression and metabolic signatures.
JANUARY 9th
9:30am-4pm
DMCBH Koerner Labs Conference Centre
First floor, UBC Hospital Koerner Pavilion
2211 Wesbrook Mall
Vancouver, BC Canada
V6T 2B5
Agenda
- Talk – Kelly McNagny: Overview of the microbiome its applications to disease research (focus hematopoiesis, immune responses, and allergic disease)
- Talk – Carolina Tropini: Techniques to environmentally alter the microbiome (laxatives, antibiotics).
- Talk – Tao Huan: Metabolomics / Influence of microbiome on metabolomics analysis
- BREAK
- Talk – Lisa Osbourne: Microbiome and germ free mice as a tool for microbiome analysis
- Talk – Pedro Dimitrui/Erick Cardenas Poire: Microbiome DNA sequence analyses and metagenomic analyses)
