Population based medicine – Transform medicine with metabolomics – part 4 of 5

In this five-part blog series, Alice Limonciel explores the role of metabolomics in 5P medicine. In this 3rd article she explores how metabolomics is driving real-world applications of precision medicine, especially in predictive diagnostics, treatment optimization, and personalized nutrition. Learn why sex-based data stratification is essential, how metabolic profiles reveal hidden disease subtypes, and why the future of medicine is personal.

Propionic acid – A short-chain fatty acid with big impact

A short-chain fatty acid produced by gut, it plays a role in energy metabolism, immune regulation, and neurological health

Predictive medicine – Transform medicine with metabolomics – part 2 of 5

In this five-part blog series, Alice Limonciel explores the role of metabolomics in 5P medicine. This second installment highlights how screening samples with broad metabolomics panels and leveraging data with knowledge-driven tools leads to the translation of metabolomics insights into innovative strategies for predictive medicine.

N-acetyl-aspartic acid (NAA) – Significant metabolite for brain function, metabolism, and disease

N-acetyl-aspartic acid (NAA) is a key brain metabolite involved in neuronal health, myelin synthesis, and metabolism. Its strong MRS signal makes it a valuable biomarker for neurological disorders, while emerging research links it to oncology, psychiatric conditions, and the gut-brain axis. As metabolomics advances, NAA’s role in diagnostics and personalized medicine continues to expand.
