Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Objectives: In this course, students will learn about various relevant chemo- and bioinformatic methods from recent literature related to small molecule mass spectrometry from publications of the last few years, present them, and discuss them.

Contents:
Content from the following topics (areas) can be presented and discussed together: Structure generation, nomenclature, identification in mass spectra (rule-based methods, machine learning, cluster-based methods), in silico generation of mass spectra from lipids and metabolites, normalization methods for absolute quantification, visualization approaches for metabolite and lipid data, multiomics data integration, critical examination and scientific discussion of research results.

Method:
The course content will be covered through lectures, discussions, oral presentations, and a final report. The presentation includes a lecture with presentation slides (30 min) followed by a discussion (20 min). Current publications from the scientific literature with a focus on chemo- or bioinformatics and a relevance to lipidomics will be discussed by students of the Chemistry program with a focus on Analytical Chemistry, as well as participants from related disciplines. The discussion will take place with all participants.

Assessment and permitted materials

- Active cooperation and participation in the discussions - oral presentation of a chosen topic / a publication in the context of the seminar - answering questions in the context of the discussion about your own presentation - timely submission of a topic-specific protocol. To ensure good scientific practice, the course director may invite students to a grade-relevant discussion after presentation and protocol submission, which must be completed positively.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Minimum Requirements: Attendance at the first unit of the seminar (preliminary meeting date) is mandatory. Attendance must be 75% overall, which is equivalent to 2 excused absences. Grades will be awarded according to the following point scheme: - 1 (very good): 100 - 91 points - 2 (good): 89 - 81 points - 3 (satisfactory): 80 - 71 points - 4 (sufficient): 70 - 61 points - 5 (insufficient): 60 - 0 points More than 60% of the maximum possible number of points must be achieved to obtain a passing grade. Each sub-performance must be completed at the end of the course.

Examination topics

Assessment standard: 100 points can be obtained for this course. These are divided into: - Collaboration: 30 points - Oral presentation and questions: 40 points - Protocol on the topic: 30 points

Reading list

Supporting literature will be provided to help students achieve the above learning objectives. The topics and associated literature will be presented and divided up during the preliminary meeting.
