Research Directions

  • Targeted Analysis: We employ isotope labeled metabolites and utilize state-of-the-art LC-MS-MS and GC-MS platforms to conduct high-sensitivity, high-throughput analysis of metabolic flux and pathways
  • Unbiased metabolic profiling and data mining, metabolite annotation and biological interpretation.
  • A fully automated, high-throughput platform that quantitatively profiles microbial metabolome coupled with bioinformatics capable of integrating into metagenomic data to provide the functional translation of the microbiome.
  • Classification and prediction of disease phenotypes based on their unique metabolic signatures for patient stratification and personalized treatment.
