Metabolomics Core Facility
The metabolomic core facility mainly covers
- Method development (targeted and untargeted)
- Food- and Nutritional metabolomics
- Clinical metabolomics.
Together these fields offer a great potential to investigate metabolic changes. The primary research aim is to elucidate biological mechanisms in nutrition and to develop novel biomarkers for single foods or whole diets by the use of explorative metabolomics.
- to find specific intake biomarkers for a sufficient number of food items to potentially cover common dietary habits in Denmark.
- To understand the link between diet and gut microbiome and the interaction between metabolites from the microbes digestion on the human physiology.
- To contribute with mechanistic understanding and biomarkers of health (defined as the ability to cope with nutritional or exercise challenges) and nutritionally related disease.
- To better understand and contribute biomarkers of disease susceptibility and risk, particularly related to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancers of the breast and colon.
- To collaborate broadly within NEXS and with external partners by providing efficient metabolic profiling and biomarker identification in all biological sample types.
