Program Objective

This symposium brings together research from laboratories at UT Southwestern and our outstanding guest speakers.  The morning session is devoted to training for physicians, biomedical scientists and students who are interested in 13C NMR isotopomer analysis for metabolic studies.  In this session, Dr.  Dean Sherry will present an overview of basic concepts for 13C NMR isotopomer analysis, Dr.  Craig Malloy will discuss extracting metabolic information from NMR data, Dr.  Thomas Szyperski will present the use of 2D techniques, and Dr.  Robert Lenkinski will discuss the application of 1H NMR to in vivo metabolic studies.

The afternoon session focuses on 13C NMR and 13C Mass Spectrometry in research on intermediary metabolism.  Dr.  Gary Lopaschuk will discuss the heart with Dr.  Denis McGarry presenting applications to the liver.  Following these presentations, Dr.  Christopher Newgard, Dr.  Marc Hellerstein, and Dr.  John Jones will present their applications to intermediary metabolism.

The reception and dinner is designed to provide an opportunity for interaction between attendees and speakers.  After dinner, Dr.  Henri Brunengraber from Case Western Reserve University will discuss the use of metabolic studies in medical decisions.
