Project:

Substrate selection and metabolomics in the diabetic mouse heart: validating metabolic markers of disease progression

Summary:

Metabolomics is a novel approach that aims to understand gene function and define disease processes by measuring a larger number of metabolites in a cell, tissue or biofluid and monitoring concentration changes that accompany a given change. This proposal will allow a post doctoral researcher to take part in a ten month exchange fellowship between a metabolomics laboratory at Cambridge University, UK and a physiology/ in vivo NMR laboratory at Harvard Medical School, MA, USA.

Amount:

£29,899 (one year)
