Metabolomics day at SDU - Kick off mini-symposium
We kindly invite you to celebrate the start of our new metabolomics lab at SDU, an
interdisciplinary lab focusing on integrated systems biology and ecological metabolomics.
What is metabolomics about:
Metabolomics aims to compare the relative differences between biological samples based on their metabolite
profiles (between 300 and 8000 different compounds). It can provide an instantaneous snapshot of the entire
physiology of an organism. Field of application are: Disease research, toxicology, environmental analysis,
agriculture, biofuel development, eco-physiology, microbiology, microbial ecology and nutrition (and much
more). Metabolomics results can also be combined with gene expression and/or proteomics studies to provide a
richer and more comprehensive understanding of the underlying biology, so called systems biology.
