Metabolomics: Mapping Biochemical Activity
Metabolomics investigates the small molecules and metabolites that reflect real-time biochemical activity within biological systems. By measuring metabolic pathways, cellular energy states, and disease-associated chemical signatures, metabolomics connects molecular regulation to phenotype, physiology, and human health.
What is Metabolomics?
Core Areas
Metabolite Profiling
Measuring small molecules that reflect biological state and function.
Pathway Analysis
Mapping biochemical reactions and metabolic network activity.
Disease Biomarkers
Identifying metabolite signatures linked to diagnosis and progression.
Mass Spectrometry
Using MS-based platforms to quantify metabolites at scale.
Metabolic Phenotyping
Connecting metabolism to physiology, environment, and phenotype.
Systems Metabolism
Integrating metabolomics with genomics, proteomics, and clinical data.
