Development of mass spectrometry-based bioanalytical platforms for metabolomics Universiteit Antwerpen
Metabolomics is the study of small endogenous molecules (<1500 Da) and their interactions in biological systems (cell culture extracts, plasma, urine, or entire organisms). Alterations in genes, RNA transcripts, and proteins, together with environmental changes, are amplified in the metabolome, reflecting the underlying biochemical activity and state of a system. Untargeted metabolomics, the comprehensive analysis of hundreds of metabolites, ...
