The ambition of MAC at the LACDR is to develop innovative analytical strategies for metabolomics-driven health monitoring and systems biology studies. Understanding the intricate balance between health,disease and adaptation to challenges relies on the identification of systematic changes during time. We believe that health monitoring and personalized medicine approaches can be achieved with clinicalstudies involving multiple patient samples, often in combination with stem cell derived in-vitro or organ-on-a-chip models. MAC has been a pioneer in metabolomics since early 2000, and combines advancedmetabolomics technologies, innovative sample preparation and robotics for clinical and in-vitro samples,and computational and FAIR digital twinning expertises. MAC houses a beyond-state-of-the-art metabolomics, exposomics and mass spectrometry lab with automated and robotic sample preparation,access to state-of-the-art cell culture and advanced imaging facilities. MAC houses the Exposome-Scan Facility for exposomics analysis with MS, in collaboration with Utrecht University. MAC is involved in many national and international exciting academic, clinical and industrial collaborations, aiming to link metabolomics and multi-omics data with real world health data, and has the ambition to translate findings and technologies into healthcare and drug research.
