Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolomics, as a comprehensive tool for studying small molecules in biological systems, is revolutionizing research in nutrition and pharmacy. This Special Issue, “Metabolomics Techniques in Nutrition and Pharmacy Research”, seeks to showcase innovative methodologies and applications that enhance our understanding of metabolism’s role in health, disease, and therapeutic development.
The Special Issue emphasizes cutting-edge metabolomics approaches tailored to nutrition and pharmacy research. This includes, but is not limited to, advancements in mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, data analysis techniques, and integrated omics approaches for studying metabolic pathways.
Submissions are invited that explore how metabolomics can unravel the molecular underpinnings of nutrition and drug interactions, improve precision nutrition strategies, and aid in the development of precision medicine. Topics of interest include the following:
- Metabolite profiling for nutritional biomarker discovery.
- Metabolic impacts of dietary interventions or pharmacological treatments.
- Studies linking metabolism with gene–environment interactions.
- Development of novel computational and analytical tools for metabolomics data interpretation.
- Applications of metabolomics in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and personalized therapeutics.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the transformative potential of metabolomics in advancing personalized nutrition and medicine. By bridging gaps between nutrition science, pharmacology, and clinical research, it seeks to provide a platform for novel insights and interdisciplinary collaborations. We encourage contributions that demonstrate the utility of metabolomics in addressing pressing health challenges and in driving innovation in therapeutic and dietary strategies.
We invite researchers, clinicians, and interdisciplinary teams to contribute original research articles, reviews, and methodological advancements that align with these themes. Together, we aim to push the boundaries of knowledge at the interface of metabolomics, nutrition, and pharmacy.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
