Metabolomics

Metabolomics comprehensively analyzes the metabolic entities, offering insights into a biological system's current biochemical state under the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic factors such as disease, dietary and lifestyle choices, drugs and hazardous agents. Technological advances in the field have been integrated into many research areas, such as in the assessment of informative biomarkers of health and disease in view of precision medicine initiatives, clinical pharmacology, drug discovery and safety, amongst other scientific domains. Metabolomics takes into consideration genetic and environmental variability to shape individualized interventions, thus favoring the transition of the field from research endeavors to translational and clinical contexts.
