Metabolomics for Biomedical Research

Metabolomics for Biomedical Research brings together recent progress on study design, analytics, biostatistics and bioinformatics for the success of metabolomics research. Metabolomics represents a very interdisciplinary research prominent in the functional analyses of living systems; hence, this book focuses on translation and medical aspects. The book discusses topics such as biomarkers and their requirements to be used in medical research, with the parameters and approaches on how to validate their quality; and animal models and other approaches, as stem cells and organoid culture. Additionally, it explains how metabolomics may be applied in prediction of individual response to drug or disease progression. This book is a valuable source for researchers on systems biology and other members of biomedical field interested in metabolism-oriented studies for medical research. - Focuses on metabolomics in translational and medical research - Provides basics for, and concepts of, contemporary translational personalized medicine research with metabolomics - Brings the major recent progresses on design, analytics, biostatistics and bioinformatics relating to the success of metabolomics research
