Metabolomics applications

Metabolomics applications

Metabolomics is a readout of the combined effects of genetics, environment and life style. Across a variety of indications, metabolomics is the most valuable approach to better understand biology and its impact on health and disease

Metabolomics is applied across indications in all areas of biology

For more than a decade biocrates has gathered extensive experience in analyzing various matrices and biological specimen.
From the elucidation of disease etiology and mechanisms of action to the discovery of novel biomarkers, our products are well suited to most steps in biomedical research.

Pharmacometabolomics

Metabolomics enables personalized therapies and drug response predictions to make pharmacological treatments more effective

Microbiome

Metabolomics explains microbiome host interactions on a functional level

Neurology

Metabolomics elucidates the functional attributes of the brain, neurodegenerative disease and the gut-brain axis

Epidemiology and biobanks

Metabolomics is the future for population-based studies to identify risk factors in (sub)populations and improve individual health

Nutrition/wellbeing

Metabolomics is a key technology that confirms how eating habits and lifestyle in general influence our well-being and health

Infectious disease

Metabolomics enables scientists to understand the risks of infectious diseases and help make informed decisions for treatment

More applications

We believe in the complete picture of health and disease. Metabolomics is currently applied in understanding many diseases. It holds the key to unlock the relationships of the environment, lifestyle, and genetics. The highlighted applications above are a few examples of the many research areas that use targeted metabolomics to better understand diseases.
