LECO and University of Liverpool Collaborate on Metabolomics Training
LECO adn university of Liverpool Team Up to Revolutionize Metabolomics Training
New Partnership to Equip Scientists with Cutting-Edge GC-MS Technology
(Liverpool, UK) – LECO Instruments UK Ltd., a subsidiary of U.S.-based LECO Corporation,has announced a groundbreaking collaboration with the Liverpool Training Centre for Metabolomics and Centre for Metabolomics Research at the University of Liverpool.This partnership will establish a premier training hub for metabolomics, a rapidly growing field that analyzes small molecules to understand biological processes.
At the heart of this initiative is LECO’s state-of-the-art PEGASUS® BT 4D GC×GC Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer, a powerful tool for separating and identifying complex mixtures of metabolites. The collaboration will provide hands-on training to early-career scientists, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to leverage this advanced technology in their research.
“We are excited to partner with LECO and provide practical-based training using the PEGASUS® BT 4D GC×GC Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer to early-career scientists,” said Dr. cate Winder, co-director of the Liverpool Training Centre for Metabolomics. “Currently, there are no similar courses offered globally, and therefore this collaboration opens new avenues to introduce the potential of applying GC-MS based metabolomics to a new generation of scientists.”
Dr. Warwick (Rick) Dunn,co-director of the Liverpool Training Centre for Metabolomics and Centre for Metabolomics Research,emphasized the significance of GC-MS technology in metabolomics research.
“This is an exciting opportunity to reinforce the use of GC-MS and thorough GCxGC-MS to study metabolism in humans through targeted and untargeted metabolomic applications,” said Dr. Dunn. “I have used LECO instruments for this submission for 19 years and understand that the platform provides advantages in comparison to other platforms like NMR and LC-MS including for robust metabolite identification and high-quality data collection. We will apply the system for studies of human biofluids, cells and tissues in relation to human health and diseases including cancer and immune-mediated conditions.”
Michael Reaney, UK Sales Director at LECO, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership.
>”I am thrilled to see the realization of our collaborative vision with Liverpool University in establishing this pioneering Metabolomics training centre,” said Reaney. “This partnership embodies our commitment to advancing scientific research and empowering researchers with cutting-edge instrumentation and expertise.Together, we will inspire innovation, foster collaboration, and drive breakthroughs in metabolomics research. Here’s to a future of discovery and success.”
This collaboration marks a important step forward in metabolomics training and research, promising to equip scientists with the tools and knowledge to unlock the secrets of biological systems and advance our understanding of human health.
