Biobanks & neurodegenerative diseases

In this episode, Alice Limonciel and Karel Kalecký discuss what to look out for when planning a metabolomics experiment with brain tissue samples from biobanks, what characterizes Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease at the metabolic level, and his experience navigating biological interpretation as a computer scientist turned metabolomist.
