Resource Center for Stable Isotope-Resolved Metabolomics Symposium

Established in 2013, the University of Kentucky's NIH-funded RC-SIRM: Resource Center for Stable Isotope-Resolved Metabolomics presents its 12-day "gloves on and gloves off" Workshop , Monday, July 23 through Friday, August 3, 2018 and its one day Metabolomics Symposium on Monday, July 30, 2018. RC-SIRM is one of six NIH Regional Comprehensive Metabolomics Resource Cores supported by the NIH Common Fund. Attendees of the Workshop will gain working knowledge in the application of SIRM to fundamental biochemistry research in the life sciences and bench-to-bedside translational research. 

  • ALL EVENTS will occur in the Lee Todd Jr. Building at 789 S. Limestone St. (formerly the BioPharmacy Building) on the campus of the University of Kentucky.
  • Workshop attendees are asked to arrive and check in to their on-campus lodging on SUNDAY, JULY 22, 2018.

The one-day Symposium on Monday, July 30th, 2018 will feature presentations and poster sessions from leaders using stable isotope-resolved metabolomics (SIRM) as well as other researchers form around the world in a wide range of research.
This is your chance to hear and meet speakers who use stable isotope labeling and other techniques to investigate metabolic changes in many physiological systems and advancing diagnosis and treatment of many clinical conditions, such as GI, and metabolic disorders, and cancer.

  • The Symposium is open to the public.
  • Registration for the Symposium will open at 8:00 am in the Lobby/Atrium newly named the Lee Todd Jr. Building (formerly the Bio Pharmacy Complex).
    • Registration is Free and a continental breakfast, boxed lunch and dinner buffet will be provided free of charge.
  • There will be poster sessions and Sponsor participation.
    • Poster abstract deadline for the Symposium is July 23, 2018.
