ON DEMAND WEBINAR
Advancing Drug Discovery with Metabolomics – Virtual Lunch & Learn
Metabolomics, the study of small molecules called metabolites produced or used by cells in biology, provides powerful data that can accelerate the pursuit of novel discoveries in all areas of life sciences, From disease research, to drug development, nutritional sciences, and environmental sciences, metabolomics provides unique insights, not possible to obtain from other omics, and complimentary insights when combined in a multiomic study.
Watch our virtual lunch and learn session hosted by Metabolon, where we delved into the transformative field of metabolomics and its critical role in drug discovery and development. Our experts provided an introduction to metabolomics, deep dive into the role metabolomics plays in multiomics research, and discussed the utility of this technology through a new case study.
