The Metallomics Training is a two-day intensive workshop that provides an integrated introduction to metallomics—from laboratory fundamentals to advanced statistical analysis and interpretation and policy translation. Participants will learn how metals are measured, how to understand and manipulate instrument outputs, how to apply modern statistical tools to metal data (including mixtures approaches), and how to translate findings back to study participants, communities, and decision-makers.
By the end of the training, participants will be familiar with the following topics:
- How metals are measured
- Understand and manipulate instrument outputs
- Apply modern statistical tools to metal data (including mixtures approaches)
- Tranlate findings back to study participants, communities, and decision-makers
AUDIENCE REQUIREMENTS
Professionals from any institution and from all career stages are welcome to attend, and we particularly encourage trainees and early-stage investigators to participate. Participants should have experience in using Excel and R.
