First Call for Papers:
Computational Aspects of Metabolomics
239th ACS National Meeting
San Francisco, March 21-25, 2010
CINF Division
Deadline for submissions: October 19, 2009

Dear Colleagues,

this email is to invite papers for our symposium on computational  
aspects of Metabolomics at the 239th National Meeting
of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in San Francisco next spring.

Metabolomics studies the occurrence and change of concentrations of  
small molecular weight chemical compounds (metabolites) in organisms,  
organs, tissues, cells and ultimately cell compartments in the context  
of environmental changes, disease or other boundary conditions. It  
does this by means of spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques and  
by observing at once not only a few but all compounds visible to the  
particular technique used. As such, it is a field at the boundary  
between chemistry and biology, helping to answer biological questions  
using analytical chemistry and cheminformatics techniques.

The metabolomics symposium at the 239th ACS national meeting in San  
Francisco invites submissions of talks about computing, informatics as  
well as chemical information aspects of metabolomics. Topics could  
include the analysis of metabolomics experiments, metabolomics  
databases, computer-assisted structure elucidation of metabolites and  
more. Abstracts may be submitted via http://abstracts.acs.org. You'll  
find the metabolomics session as part of the CINF division symposiums.  
Deadline is October 19, 2009. In case of questions, please email  
Christoph Steinbeck at ste...@eb....

Please distribute this call for papers as widely as possible.

Cheers,

Chris
