Special Issue Information
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 -omics 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 -omics 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.
