This detailed volume presents a comprehensive compendium of clinical metabolomics protocols
covering LC-MS GC-MS CE-MS and NMR-based clinical metabolomics as well as bioinformatics and
study design considerations. The methodologies explored here form the core of several very
promising initiatives evolving around personalized health care and precision medicine which
can be seen as complimentary to the field of clinical chemistry and aid the aforementioned
field with novel disease markers and diagnostic patterns. Written for the highly successful
Methods in Molecular Biology series chapters include brief introductions to their topics
lists of the necessary materials and reagents step-by-step readily reproducible laboratory
protocols and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical
Clinical Metabolomics: Methods and Protocols aims to serve as the basis for successful
communication between scientists from several fields including chemists biologist
bioinformaticians and clinicians ultimately leading to effective study design and completion.
