Identification of Disease Biomarkers by Metabolomic and Lipidomic Approaches

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past decade, metabolomic and lipidomic approaches have grown rapidly both from a technical perspective and from a disease diagnosis perspective. These approaches are now considered the first approach to begin to identify biomarkers related to many diseases, both human and plant. This Special Issue of Metabolites is titled “Identification of Disease Biomarkers by Metabolomic and Lipidomic Approaches” and is focused on analytical advances, applied research, and novel informatics methods that can be harnessed to tackle the identification of biomarkers in disease states. Manuscripts that tackle the challenges of identification of unknown diseases are also critical for this area of disease diagnostics, as we often encounter the unknown when studying a new disorder.
