Metabolomics Data Processing and Data Analysis 
08 October 2018 - 02 November 2018 (access to materials available both during and after course run) 

This online course will explore the tools and approaches that are used to process and analyse metabolomics data, we will investigate the challenges that are typically encountered in the analysis of metabolomics data and provide solutions to overcome these problems. The course will be delivered using a combination of short videos, articles, discussions, and online workshops with step-by-step instructions and test data sets. We will provide quizzes, polls and peer review exercises each week, so that you can review your learning throughout the course. 

The material will be delivered over a four week period, with an estimated learning time of four hours per week. We will support your learning via social discussions where you will be able post questions and comments to the team of educators and the other learners on the course. In the final week of the course there will be a live question and answer session with the entire team of educators. If you do not have time to complete the course during the 4-week period you will retain access to the course material to revisit, as you are able.
