Metabolomics and Enzymology

Therapeutic Metabolomics

Metabolomics had profound importance in recent years in context to its applications in the field of drug discovery and drug development. With recent advances in the field of metabolomics it can be proved as a major tool for innovative therapeutic discoveries. In the agricultural/chemical industry, metabolomics may be used to develop herbicides and pesticides. With increasing importance being placed on health and safety related aspects of our food, metabolomics can potentially be a valuable tool in food processing and quality control, or in plant breeding for improved crop varieties and in the development of novel food stuffs. Centre for Metabolomics is associated with therapeutic metabolomics. Computational immunology is a field of science that incorporates high-throughput genomic and bioinformatics ways to deal with immunology.
