"This is a specialized book written for a narrowly defined audience that accomplishes its goal of drawing together multiple contributors to flesh out the parameters and practices of the interdisciplinary field of metabolomics in biomedicine. In its target and its execution, it stands out in the diverse and developing field of metabolomics." --Doody

Metabolomics for Biomedical Research brings together recent progress on study design, analytics, biostatistics and bioinformatics for the success of metabolomics research. Metabolomics represents a very interdisciplinary research prominent in the functional analyses of living systems; hence, this book focuses on translation and medical aspects. The book discusses topics such as biomarkers and their requirements to be used in medical research, with the parameters and approaches on how to validate their quality; and animal models and other approaches, as stem cells and organoid culture. Additionally, it explains how metabolomics may be applied in prediction of individual response to drug or disease progression.
