要旨

Translational Medicine has been defined in Science as an effort to carry scientific knowledge "from bench to bedside". Translational medicine builds on basic research advances, studies of biological processes using cell cultures, or animal models and uses them to develop new therapies or medical procedures.
Metabolomics, lipidomics and proteomics are key players in translational medicine. They represent a paradigm shift in research, away from approaches that focus on a limited number of enzymatic reactions or single pathways, to approaches that attempt to capture the complexity of biological networks. The high-throughput nature of these approaches is also well suited to biomarker discovery. Mass spectrometry is highly discriminatory for a large range of pathological processes making it the principal analytical method for these omic studies. The large amount of data derived from “omics” based mass spectrometry studies requires new methods and computational tools. We will describe some of our work in metabolomics and lipidomics and illustrate the utility of our methods and novel new computational tools with examples from several studies employing animal models to better understand the metabolic syndrome.
