Metabolomics in cancer research: Key findings

In this presentation, Dr. Julia Debik discusses her metabolomics research, focusing on cancer studies. She explores how cancer cells exhibit reprogrammed metabolism and the role of metabolomics in identifying biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring. The talk highlights various studies, including breast cancer research using tissue and serum samples, lipoprotein analysis, and population-based studies like the HUNT study. Dr. Debik also addresses the challenges faced in metabolomics, such as high variability, sample handling issues, and the integration of multi-omic data.
