Metabolomics,the most downstrean biochemical dimension of biological systems • Indicator of both genetic and environmental conditions Genome Phenotype Transcriptome Environmental influence Proteome Metabolome
Metabolome and metabotypes • Interindividual distances by far larger than intraindividual distances • A model based on 15 urine fingerprints/per subject allows to predict with 100% confidence the donor of an unknown sample 22 men & women 40 urine samples/subject 1H-NMR Canonical analysis Assfalg et al., 2008, PNAS
Metabolomics in cancer research • A relatively recent field of research • Various applications • Mechanisms of carcinogenesis • Novel clinical biomarkers for cancer • Diagnosis, prognosis, recurrence • Discovery of novel risk factors for cancer • Diet, physical activity, contaminants, pollutants, occupational exposure
