Metabolomics Shared Resource (MSR)

Overview of Services

Metabolomics is the quantitative characterization of metabolites. The metabolome represents the collection of all metabolites in a biological system, such as cell, tissue, organ or organism. Metabolites are not only substrates and products of biochemical reactions; many of them also serve as regulators of enzymatic activities. Metabolite levels reflect the balance between production and consumption. Stable-isotope tracers allow more direct measurement of metabolite production rates, i.e. pathway activities (“fluxes”). The combination of concentration and flux measurement provides a more complete view of metabolism and its role in cancer.
