Metabolomics in drug development and precision medicine

 Bought to you on behalf of Biocrates

Metabolomics, the science of the measurement and analysis of metabolites, has emerged as an important ‘omics’ technology throughout the stages of pharmaceutical research and development. Metabolomics has also shown potential in providing powerful biomarker signatures in a wide range of biomedical applications.

This webinar will highlight recent advances in metabolomics for pharmaceutical research, drug development and precision medicine.

What will you learn?

  • Use of metabolomics for drug target evaluation
  • Translation of preclinical biomarker candidates to clinical research phases
  • Prediction and assessment of therapy response
  • Toxicology assessment
  • Study design considerations for metabolomics

Who will this interest?

  • Biomarker researchers within the pharmaceutical industry and academic institutions
  • Toxicologists
  • Scientists working with mass spectrometry, involved in or with an interest in pharmaceutical research and development
  • Translational medicine researchers within the pharmaceutical industry
  • Anyone with an interest in metabolomics, drug development, and precision medicine
