What this research studies
The Integrative Analysis of Metabolic Phenotypes (IAMP) program at Penn State focuses on training predoctoral students in various scientific disciplines related to metabolism. This program combines experimental, molecular, and bioinformatics approaches to deepen the understanding of how metabolism affects health and disease. Trainees will learn to use advanced tools like mass spectrometry and next-generation sequencing to explore metabolic processes. The goal is to equip a diverse group of future scientists with the knowledge and skills necessary to tackle critical questions in metabolism and its implications for human health.
