Integrative-Metabolomics in Epidemiological Studies

Dear Colleagues,

Large epidemiological studies with biobanked biological samples and extensive exposure data provide the perfect resource to conduct integrative-metabolomic studies. Such studies can help us to better understand the mechanisms underlying a host of common complex diseases and phenotypes. Although important biological and biomedical insights have been gained from the use of metabolomics, and from other single omic technologies, biomakers and environmental exposure measurements, perhaps the most global profile of a biological system can be obtained by combining metabolomics with these additional data types, and exploring the relationships, interactions and feedback between them.

This Special Issue aims to highlight epidemiological studies of human populations with metabolomics data and at least one other omic data type; biomarker or epidemiological exposure. Authors are invited to submit original research articles which have utilized integrative metabolomics approaches to explore a phenotype or disease within an epidemiological study.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
