GGMC Educational Webinar Series

Upcoming Webinar:
May 22, 10:00am EST

Join Us Each Month

The GGMC Educational Webinar Series brings together leaders, educators, researchers, and professionals with all levels of expertise to share health sciences initiatives taking place in their respective fields and countries.

Each month’s webinar will feature new guest speakers offering novel insights into their fields. The virtual platform allows us to reach a global audience, particularly those in low-and middle income countries (LMICs) where our organization’s mission is heavily focused. This monthly series is free and open to anyone who wishes to participate.

Join us as we come together each month to share scientific ideas, best practices, challenges, lessons learned, funding opportunities, and more as we continue our mission of improving population health for all.

Upcoming Webinar

"Urine Metabolite Biomarkers in Large Cohorts: Biological Insights in General Population Settings and Parallels to the Translation of Blood Metabolomics."

Dr. Peter Würtz

Dr. Peter Würtz is founder and scientific director of Nightingale Health, the company conducting metabolomic profiling of the entire UK Biobank and many other major cohorts. Peter has pioneered epidemiological studies of blood biomarkers in relation to cardiometabolic diseases and genetics. His current research focuses on translating the results from blood metabolomics of large biobanks to individual patient use.

About the Talk

Urine metabolite biomarkers are traditionally studied only in diabetes and kidney disease patients, but recent studies show broad relevance to general population cohorts for studies of heart disease risk, nutrition, and genetics. This webinar will cover analytical aspects and new scientific findings on urine metabolomics for large cohorts. Parallels to recent clinical translation of Nightingale metabolomics of blood samples in early health screening settings will be drawn.
