Research Focus
Project Summary Metabolomics is a rapidly growing -omics technology with vast potential, yet numerous obstacles hinder its full utilization. The development of bioinformatics tools like XCMS Online can streamline the process of analyzing and interpreting raw metabolic data, and further developments like integrating orthogonal data sources and automating metabolite identification are underway. Identifying active metabolites using metabolomics and systems biology strategies is a particularly interesting challenge that will have a significant impact on biomedical research. My overarching goal is not only to address these obstacles, as we have a track record of doing, but also to make our developments freely available and user-friendly and allow the entire community and non-metabolomics experts from all fields (e.g., cancer, neurological disorders, diabetes, virology, environmental exposure, and so on) to harness the enormous opportunity of metabolomics. To this end and based on allocated funding we’ve made multiple aspects of our platform downloadable, for example, METLIN MS2/NL converter, METLIN Avanti MS2 data, METLIN MRM database, METLIN Retention Time database on 80,000 molecular…
