Application of Analytical Technology in Metabolomics

Dear Colleagues,

Metabolomics, as an important part of systems biology, is concerned with both targeted and untargeted analysis of endogenous and exogenous small molecule metabolites found within a biological sample. Metabolomics is a powerful approach for biomarker discovery with the technological advancement in the Analytical and identification of small molecules for early diagnosis, monitoring therapeutic response, and establishing disease pathogenesis. These cutting-edge technologies, which include accurate measurement of HPLC/UPLC, CE, HRMS, and NMR technology, can perform the detection of metabolites within minutes. The metabolomics field is gaining popularity due to the development of new Analytical methods and innovative sample processing techniques. In the light of the impressive past and ongoing development in the area of metabolomics by the use of modern analytical methods in conjunction with Analytical techniques, we believe that this Topic will bring together original research papers as well as review articles that highlight recent advances in innovative sample processing, current Analytical, and targeted & untargeted methods for bioanalysis/preclinical and clinical analysis in the field of metabolomics. Additionally, miniaturization of sample processing methods for metabolomics analysis is also welcome.
