Frontiers in Metabolomics for Cancer Research Young S. Kim & Padma Maruvada Nutritional Science & Cancer Biomarkers Research Group Division of Cancer Prevention
Background • Application of high throughput technologies to biological questions in the post-genomic era • NIH Roadmap initiatives promoting technology development in metabolomic platforms • Metabolomic approaches to cancer research
Questions…. • Can tumor specific metabolic alterations reflect in body fluids? • What are the factors that would influence metabolic fluxes? • What molecules do you include in the definition? • What are the appropriate metabolomics technologies for cancer research? • How do we get some meaningful information? • What are the needed sensitivity, reproducibility, and dynamic range for their clinical utility?
