Integrating and Interpreting Metabolomics and Multi-omics Data with Pathway and Class Based Models

Tim Ebbels presents interpretable machine-learning models for metabolomics and multi-omics using pathway and chemical-class scores. Sparse coverage of the metabolome and uncertain annotations make conventional results difficult to interpret; pathway-based features aim to connect model output directly to biological function. The webinar examines applications from multi-assay mass spectrometry and multi-omics integration to single-cell and mass-spectrometry imaging, discusses methodological challenges and attempts to resolve them, and demonstrates how these approaches can clarify complex biological signals.
