Abstract

The presentation gives an overview of metabolomics and Cancer Care Engineering.

The combination of NMR and multivariate statistical analysis is providing a new way to analyze complex samples such as biofluids. The field of metabolite profiling or "metabolomics" has significant implications for early disease detection and understanding systems biology. Analysis of serum or urine with this approach can identify potential biomarkers of disease or for following therapy. NMR can also be combined with mass spec to provide unprecedented detail of the metabolite profile in human biology.
