Descripció del treball
Researcher career profile (R1)
The Metabolomics Interdisciplinary Lab (MiL@b) belongs to the Institutd’Investigació Sanitària Pere Virgili (IISPV) and is functionally attached to the Sant Joan XXIII Hospital.
The research group works in the field of metabolomics, and has access to state-of-the-art analytical equipment in mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance, which allow large-scale analysis of biological samples.
The MiL@b is a multidisciplinary research group aimed at the scientific and technological advance of metabolomics, particularly focused on biomedical data analysis, software engineering and analytical chemistry.
The research group is developing new and open-access metabolomic data processing algorithms and compound identification strategies, using multivariate analysis tools, machine learning approaches, and publicly available and commercial databases. The algorithms are mainly intended to improve data analysis by using the leading analytical platforms in metabolomics: GC-MS, LC-MS, MALDI-MS and HR-NMR.
