The annual Southeast Center for Integrated Metabolomics (SECIM) symposium will be held at SBP’s Lake Nona Campus next week (May 3-4). SECIM, a collaboration between SBP and the University of Florida, is one of six federally funded centers that provide cutting-edge metabolite fingerprinting capabilities to the research community. Metabolites are small molecules in the body that populate the complex web of metabolic pathways. Metabolomics is a relatively new field that uses sophisticated technologies to detect hundreds to thousands of metabolites in biological samples. A metabolite profile can serve as a signature of health, disease or drug action. Continue reading “SBP’s Lake Nona campus to host metabolomics symposium”
