Metabolomics

Metabolomics is the study of small molecules, called metabolites, that are produced during metabolism in biological systems, such as cells or tissues. In chemical pathology, it helps analyze the chemical fingerprints left by metabolic processes, providing insights into health and disease. By examining these metabolites, researchers can identify biomarkers for conditions like diabetes or cancer, enabling better diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. Essentially, metabolomics offers a deeper understanding of how our bodies function at a molecular level, helping doctors make more informed decisions about patient care.
