Program Objective
In this year we chose to focus solely on carbon isotope
methods. The objective of the symposium was to bring together
physicians, biomedical scientists and students who were interested
in the use of different carbon isotope techniques in metabolic
research. Experts in the fields of mass spectrometry, NMR,
PET and radiotracer methods discussed the advantages, limitations
and recent applications of each tool.
The goal was to focus on the assumptions which underlie the
standard carbon isotope methods and to illustrate the assumptions
and experimental results which can be provided by each
method. The Symposium was followed by a reception for
visiting faculty and a dinner for all participants which allowed
interaction between attendees and faculty. After dinner,
Dr. Kamil Ugurbil discussed applications of ultrahigh field
systems (3 T and greater) for clinical applications.
