New MOOC – Metabolomics: Understanding Metabolism in the 21st Century

  • By Lisa Fuller

CMAR member and Co-Director of the Birmingham Metabolomics Training Centre, Dr Warwick Dunn designed, developed and run a massive open online course (MOOCs for short) titled “Metabolomics: Understanding Metabolism in the 21st Century”. Over 4 weeks, the free online course aimed to show how metabolomics is revolutionising our understanding of metabolism.

Metabolomics: Understanding Metabolism in the 21st Century

The course month-long course was developed in collaboration with FutureLearn and began in 2015, following huge success and demand it ran again in May 2016. The target audience is wide-ranging and includes final year undergraduate students from biology/chemical disciplines and medical students, but also provides a valuable introduction to the metabolomics field for MSc and PhD students and scientists at any stage in their careers. Metabolomics is a new tool to the scientific community and has widespread applications across the medical and biological sciences in academia and industry and the development of this MOOC is a useful resource to anyone who is interested (and can spare 3 hours per week) in learning about the application of metabolomics to understand metabolism.

If you missed the last course and would like to find out more, you can download an introductory video here in either standard resolution or in HD. Watch out for future courses via the FutureLearn website or by following @Phenome_UoBor @BirmMetTrain on Twitter.  You can join the conversation on social media by using the hashtag #FLmetabolomics .

Medical Research Council Versus Arthritis Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research

We are funded by the Medical Research Council and Versus Arthritis, we are a Centre of Excellence in Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ageing Research. We are integrating and expanding complementary research and postgraduate training activity of the two leading Midlands based Universities, the University of Birmingham and the University of Nottingham, together with their associated NHS hospital trusts.

Versus Arthritis came to life in September 2018 as a result of the merger of two of UK’s largest arthritis charities – Arthritis Research UK and Arthritis Care
