Metabolomics Enabling Personalized Medicine
Thomas Hankemeier
Leiden University/Netherlands Metabolomics Centre
Metabolism is at the core of physiology and therefore metabolomics is ideally suited to assess someone’s health state. In this presentation strategies are discussed how personalized medicine can be realized by using metabolomics and by integrating it with other omics data. Examples are shown how disease pathology can be studied using metabolomics in clinical studies, and how mechanistic insights can be obtained using advanced in-vitro models and translational metabolomics. Pharmacometabolomics can help to study how pharmacology modulates disease pathology, and to predict efficacy and adverse effects of pharmacological interventions . An outlook will be given how metabolomics will impact clinical research and ultimately clinical decision support.

Speeding up the cancer biomarker discovery: Advanced Clinical Proteomics workflow with High Resolution MS
Sebastien Gallien- Former researcher at CRP-Santé LIH Luxembourg Insitute of health
Pre-Register

Adoption of cancer biomarkers in clinical labs has been plagued by the speed with which these biomarkers are discovered and validated for clinical use. Clinical proteomics approaches where the use of predefined set of surrogate peptides for proteins has been helpful in systematically identifying these markers. Targeted analyses using parallel reaction monitoring (PRM), performed on high resolution and accurate-mass (HRAM) quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometers, present the selectivity and sensitivity to confidently quantify peptides in complex samples. The internal standards (IS) used for isotope dilution quantification were recently leveraged to actually drive the acquisition (“internal standard triggered-parallel reaction monitoring”, IS-PRM), thus improving the acquisition efficiency.

The Microsampling Workshop
Stephen Stephenson, Chief Biomedical Scientist of Transplant, Cellular, and Clinical Immunology, Leeds Teaching Hospital; Dr. Bikalpa Neupane, Research Fellow University of Leicester; John Dutton, Senior Research Fellow and Holly Nicholls, Research Technician, University of East Anglia Bioanalytical Facility
Pre-Register

This workshop examines three clinical research labs investigating volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS™) as an alternative to “wet” sampling. The first talk reviews a potential at-home LC-MS/MS assay for tacrolimus monitoring including extractions and initial validation results. Talk two describes a clinical PK children’s study which aims to compare PK of midazolam in critically-ill with that in otherwise healthy children undergoing elective surgery and measure blood midazolam concentrations in “wet” sample against those in VAMS. The final talk discusses a LC-MS/MS assay for the quantitation of 25(OH)D3 in whole blood collected using DBS and VAMS. The two microsampling techniques are compared against plasma and the impact of different haematocrit levels on the 25(OH)D3 concentration is investigated.

What We Can Learn from a Drop of Urine – Metabolomics at its Earliest: Discoveries of Bile Acid Synthesis Disorders, a New Category of Fatal Metabolic Liver Disease and Development of a Treatment
Kenneth Setchell
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
This presentation will highlight how mass spectrometry was successfully applied to define new genetic defects in the cholesterol-bile acid biosynthetic pathway as a specific class of metabolic liver disease. Bile acid synthesis disorders due to single enzyme defects generally present in infancy or early childhood with a progressive cholestatic hepatitis that, unchecked, lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, and death. Prior to the seminal work of Setchell and colleagues in identifying 6 genetic diseases as discrete entities, and conceiving of an effective therapy, children with these autosomal recessive diseases either underwent liver transplantation, or more commonly, were given supportive care until they died of liver failure of unknown origin. To be described are the combined use an untargeted and targeted approach with FAB-MS, GC-MS and ESI-LC-MS/MS that led to the elucidation of the biochemical basis of these diseases, the development of an international screening program, and the evaluation of the therapeutic responses that served to ultimately gain regulatory approval from the FDA for a life-saving therapy based on oral administration of cholic acid. This application of mass spectrometry to clinical chemistry has been a game-changer that has led to a radical change in the evaluation and treatment of patients with idiopathic progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis syndromes.1

Yo ho ho mateys’ – do you know your ragged ends from your missed cleavages? Full proteins or peptides for internal standardization? If not… it’s time to charge the guns and hoist the mainsail. The evenings’ entertainment will focus on bottom up protein assays through finding the flaws in proposed methods. Let the grog flow (yes there will be grog) and battle(ships) commence as we learn how to eat a whale of a “clinical protein” assay, one bite at a time.

Practical Mass Spectrometry - not just the Fundamentals

Feedback on the Practical Mass Spectrometry track and Troubleshooting Forum. What works? What needs to be improved? How you can contribute to its development.

Design of Experiments - Get it right from the beginning
@ Papageno
Lead(s): Margrét Thorsteinsdóttir & Unnur Thorsteinsdottir

We will demonstrate how method development can become much more efficient by utilizing design of experiments (DoE) approach. DoE offers many advantages including performing experiments in accordance to predefined plan, modelling by empirical functions and graphical visualization. Example from optimization of a LC-MS/MS clinical diagnostic method will show that DoE is very cost-effective, allowing the effect of variables to be assessed with only a fraction of the experiments that would be required by changing one-separate-factor-at-time (COST) approach and spots critical setting early on.

Biognosys is the leading proteomics company offering services and tools for highly multiplexed protein quantification. Its cutting-edge technology has been applied in biomarker research, drug and target discovery, pathway modeling, mode of action studies, and many other areas. Two Biognosys’ platforms for protein analysis will be presented in the workshop: discovery and targeted proteomics. Discovery proteomics platform allows an unmatched proteome coverage with accurate quantification of up to 8’000 proteins per sample, and is ideal for identifying over-expressed proteins on a proteome level without the need for any previous knowledge. On the other hand, the targeted proteomics platform allows an absolute quantification of up to a 150 pre-defined proteins that can be analyzed in a high-through put mode in thousands of samples.

Molecular Tissue-Typing in Clinical Translational Research: Towards Precision Medicine
Ron Heeren
Maastricht University
A multimodal approach for molecular imaging for clinical studies is trending the field of imaging mass spectrometry. More and more researchers realize that a single technology provides only a subset of the molecular information needed to obtain an in depth understanding of a clinical problem. Multimodal approaches enable the study of clinical samples at a variety of molecular and spatial scales. The molecular complexity on the genome, proteome and metabolome level all needs to be taken into account. The distribution of several hundreds of molecules on the surface of complex (biological) surfaces can be determined directly in complementary imaging MS experiment with different desorption and ionization strategies.

The talk provides an overview of a short but eventful history of Orbitrap mass spectrometry, from laying down the first principles of the technology to its current status in mainstream mass spectrometry as the leading technique for high-resolution, high mass accuracy quantitative analysis. While describing new possibilities arising from the recent extensions of two latest families of instruments, Fusion and (Q) Exactive, a special emphasis is placed on technical solutions that enhance quantitative analysis in these instruments. Future trends and perspectives of Orbitrap mass spectrometry are discussed, particularly in relation to high-throughput clinical analysis.
