[1] Metabolomics — the study of all the metabolites in a cell, tissue or organism. This science includes carbohydrates, lipids, signaling molecules, etc. See www.metabolomicssociety.org/. Metabolomics has the promise to enable detection of disease states and their progression, monitor response to therapy, stratify patients based on biochemical profiles and highlight targets for drug design.
