Isotope Tracers in Metabolic Research: Principles and Practice of Kinetic Analysis
13th Annual Course
Postponed until Fall 2021. Exact dates to be determined. Email isotope.tracer@vanderbilt.edu to be added to course announcements.
A week-long course (with one-on-one mentoring sessions) in the theory and practice of stable and radioactive isotopic tracers for the study of metabolism in human and animal models.
Course Co-Directors: Owen P. McGuinness, PhD, Elizabeth J. Parks, PhD
Sponsored by Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers (MMPC)
Location: Nashville, TN at Homewood Suites by Hilton® Nashville-Vanderbilt
Description: This course provides basic introductory and comprehensive information on performing metabolic studies using
tracers labeled with radioactive or stable isotopes in humans, animals and cells. The course is designed for beginners as well as for those with experience who
wish to expand their capabilities to more sophisticated problems. The faculty has expertise in a wide variety of applications and methodologies.
Techniques are taught for the investigation of whole body metabolism, for metabolite balance across organs, intracellular flux rates and pathway regulation in humans,
animals and cells. Basic aspects of modeling will be considered, as well as specific applications to the study of carbohydrate, fat, protein metabolism and energy
balance. Theoretical and practical matters related to sample analysis by mass spectrometry and NMR are discussed, including examples of calculations involved in
determining isotopic enrichment and basic kinetic parameters. Attendees will have opportunities to discuss their research projects in one-on-one mentoring sessions
with faculty.
