What Are the Applications of Metabolomics in Epidemiology?
Metabolomics has several applications in epidemiology, including:
Biomarker Discovery: Identifying biomarkers for early detection and diagnosis of diseases. Pathway Analysis: Understanding metabolic pathways and how they are altered in disease states. Exposure Assessment: Measuring exposure to environmental toxins and their effects on health. Nutritional Epidemiology: Investigating the impact of diet on metabolic profiles and health outcomes.
