Dear colleagues,
 
Please join us at our hybrid PHURI seminar to welcome:
 
Professor Karsten Suhre: “Genetic associations with metabolomic and proteomic traits”
 
To stay updated on future PHURI lectures and events please sign up to the PHURI mailing list
 
There is an opportunity for early career researchers (ECRs- including PhD students and postdocs) to meet as a group with Professor Suhre afterwards for an informal discussion. Please contact phuri@qmul.ac.uk if you would like to attend the ECR session at the Garrod Building.
 
Seminar summary
Protein and metabolite quantitative trait loci (QTLs) are an invaluable source of information for drug target development as they provide genetic evidence to support protein function, suggest relationships between cis- and trans-associated proteins, and link metabolites to disease where they collocate with genetic risk loci for clinical endpoints. In this seminar I will present recent work from my group on different aspects of proteogenomic studies using cohorts from Qatar and abroad.
 
Speaker Bio
Before joining Cornell in 2011, Professor Suhre held a Professorship for Bioinformatics at the Department of Biology of the Ludwig-Maximillian-University in Munich, Germany, where he led the Metabolomics Research Group at the Institute for Bioinformatics and Systems Biology of the Helmholtz Center Munich. Between 1994 and 2006, he served at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), first as a Charge and then as a Director of Research, with a two-year interruption from 2000 to 2001, where he worked as a Project Engineer in the German Automotive Industry.
 
After a very interdisciplinary career in the Theoretical Physics, Atmospheric Sciences, Bacterial and Viral Genomics, and Protein Bioinformatics, he is now investigating how human genetics, metabolomics and proteomics interact with environmental challenges and lifestyle factors in the development of complex disorders, especially diabetes, cancer, heart and kidney diseases.
 
We look forward to seeing you,
The PHURI team
