Metabolomics in cancer research: Key findings
6 May 2025
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.

Cancer ResearchCancer research aims to understand the mechanisms of cancer development and progression to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. From molecular biology to clinical trials, research spans a wide range of disciplines, including immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and drug discovery.

Current diagnostic methods include biopsy, imaging and blood tests for known biomarkers. New methods in research development include liquid biopsies and cancer breathalyzers.MetabolomicsMetabolomics is the study of small metabolites (the intermediates and products of metabolism). It involves the identification and quantification of cellular metabolites using analytical technologies such as GC, HPLC, NMR, and LC/MS.Breast CancerBreast cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the cells of the breast and can spread to other parts of the body. Early detection, accurate diagnosis, and targeted treatments are essential for improving patient outcomes.
