Microbiome
The microbiome is made of microorganisms living in and on our body. Through metabolism, the microbiome contributes essential metabolites that contribute to our health, but can also release toxic metabolites that contribute to disease. The study of the microbiome together with host biology is currently one of the hottest topics in biomedical research.
Does metabolomics have a place in microbiome research?
Metabolomics highlights the significant role of microbial communities in human health, driving a paradigm shift towards towards personalized, proactive healthcare.
