Metabolomics and Enzymology

Clinical Metabolomics

Conventional biological diagnostic procedures are based on a time-consuming series of sequential biochemical tests. The rise of “omic” technologies offers the complete picture of basic molecules that build a biological system at different levels. Metabolomics is the most recent “omic” technology based on biochemical characterization of metabolites and their changes pertaining to genetic and environmental factors. Metabolomics, when used as a translational research tool, can offer a link between the laboratory and clinic, and produce results in a lesser time.
