Metabolomics

Metabolomics is a term used to refer to the study of chemical compounds, known as metabolites, produced by living organisms. It is a broad field that encompasses many disciplines such as genomics, physiology, and biochemistry. Metabolomics is used to analyze and identify the metabolic pathways of living organisms and to understand how they interact with the environment. Through metabolomics, researchers can gain insights into how different organisms respond to changes in diet, environmental conditions, and genetic variations. As such, metabolomics holds the potential to advance many areas of research, including drug development, disease diagnosis, and biomarker discovery. It is also used to understand changes in the composition of foods and beverages, as well as consumer health and safety.
