Metabolomics & Lipidomics

Tom Metz, Integrative Omics Scientist and Metabolomics Technical Lead at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (Washington State, USA), selects six papers that exemplify the power of multi-omics.

Cancer is incredibly complex, posing enormous challenges beyond the biological field. Taking a multi-omic approach can help us make sense of this diverse set of diseases – and, ultimately, allow us to better understand ourselves as human beings.

Sitting Down With... Jessica Prenni, Director of Research Core Facilities, Director of Proteomics & Metabolomics Facility, Colorado State University, USA.

The pursuit of the metabolome may no longer be a novel field, but it remains the biggest analytical challenge.

Though a recent paper about the data-distorting potential of gas chromatography in metabolomic studies is far from perfect, it does at least draw attention to the absolute criticality of robust experiment design – on both sides of the argument. And that’s got to be a good thing.

Munich will play host to the 2016 Humanity in Science Award winner – and much more

Isn't it time to share resources to open up more opportunities for metabolic profiling?

Multiplexed separations in metabolomics: is there a faster, cheaper, and better way?

A novel CE-MS technique shows great promise for sample-restricted metabolomics.

Just imagine how many analytical problems would be solved if we could increase the resolution of liquid chromatography (LC) from hundreds to thousands or perhaps a hundred thousand compounds?
