Metabolomics

Metabolomic studies can provide a global view of metabolism and thereby improve our understanding of the underlying biology. Moreover, metabolic fingerprints generated by metabolomics can be efficiently used in clinical and pre-clinical studies as a powerful tool in biomarker discovery and the development of personalized medicine.
