Connecting Metabolomics to Health and Drug Response, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks

The unique capability of metabolomics to measure microbiome-derived metabolites sheds light on the biological activity of bacterial communities in ways that other omics technologies cannot.


TORONTO (PRWEB)

Most microbes in the gut microbiome supply crucial ecosystem services that benefit the entire host-microbe system. Studies have shown that disruption of the gut microbiome, either through loss of beneficial functions or the introduction of maladaptive functions by invading microbes, can contribute to disease.

While the collection of microbial genomes, or the metagenome, can provide information relating to the diversity of these microbes, it is not sufficient to detail the function of the microbiome. The unique capability of metabolomics to measure microbiome-derived metabolites sheds light on the biological activity of bacterial communities in ways that other omics technologies cannot.

In this webinar, attendees will learn more about:


  • How a functional metabolomics readout of the microbiome can complement other omics approaches

  • How metabolomics can assist in understanding the mechanism of action, safety and efficacy of novel treatments

  • Metabolon’s new microbiome solutions, including the Microbiome SmartPanel and Good Clinical Practice (GCP)-validated assays, that can provide actionable insights to advance drug development

Join Brian Keppler, PhD, Director of Discovery and Translational Sciences at Metabolon, in a live webinar on Wednesday, November 10, 2021 at 11am EST (4pm GMT/UK) to learn about new tools to demystify the microbiome and the complex interactions that modulate human health and drug response.
