Apologies for cross-posting -------- Original Message -------- Subject: 1st Call for Papers: Computational Aspects of Metabolomics (CINF Symposium, ACS Spring 2010) Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 16:27:36 +0200 From: Christoph Steinbeck <ste...@eb...> To: Christoph Steinbeck <ste...@eb...> References: <49E...@eb...> 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.
