Metabolomics & Systems Biology

Metabolomics in the field Of Oncology / Cancer Metabolomic

The application of metabolomics in the field of cancer research has led to the progress of metabolism in development of cancer. In the past ten years, the re-discovery of cancer as a metabolic disorder has happened due to the increased accessibility of metabolomics, identification of cancer metabolite biomarkers and the discovery of oncometabolites.

• Biomarker in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, & therapeutic response Screening tool
• Detection of micro metastases
• As both predictive & pharmacodynamics marker of drug effect including search for new drugs
• In Nutrigenomics it is used to see the effect of diet on cancer prevention and its response to treatment
• As translational research tool which can provide link between clinical & laboratory
• Molecular analyses of cancers to know the information about the mechanisms of initiation, progression & provide foundation for clinical tests
