metabolomics capabilities
Metabolomics involves analysis of cellular metabolites and is integral to the suite of ‘omics technologies required for systems analysis. Our metabolomics facilities operate as Metabolomics Australia and possess synergistic technologies and expertise enabling a broad range of services to researchers and collaborators.
OUR RESEARCH PLATFORMS
Our network of metabolomics partner facilities offers state-of-the-art capabilities and customised services, ranging from specific detection and quantification to complex investigations and systems-wide analyses in biological systems. Our network specialises in biomedical, agricultural, and industrial applications.
Bio21 Institute, The University of Melbourne
The Bio21 Institute offers cutting-edge metabolomics research across various fields including life sciences, agri-biotech, environment, bio-nutrition, biomedical, and health. Located in Melbourne’s life sciences research precinct, our close relationship with the University of Melbourne’s Bio21 Institute for Molecular Science and Biotechnology and School of Biosciences provides direct access to leading researchers in diverse disciplines.
Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI)
The Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI) supports the grape and wine industry through cutting-edge research and practical solutions. It hosts the South Australian node for Metabolomics Australia, specialising in analysing trace and secondary metabolites, including volatiles, biomarkers and chemical quality markers. While focused on food and agriculture, AWRI also collaborates with the biomedical field.
The University of Western Australia
The Western Australian node for Metabolomics Australia, located in the Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis (CMCA) at the Harry Perkins Institute (North), offers expertise in
mass spectrometry, chemistry, metabolism, and informatics.
They provide analytical and data interpretation services for various life science fields including plant, microbial, environmental, and biomedical research.
Australian Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN)
From precision nanomedicine, advanced biomanufacturing and nanoengineered materials, the AIBN provides innovative proteomics and metabolomics solutions while collaborating on industrial challenges in cell and metabolic engineering.
Integrated Multiomics
Services
Our network offers a seamless multiomics service, integrating genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics for comprehensive biological insights. This capability also supports project design and consultation and data integration and analysis.
METABOLOMICS ANALYSIS
The BioCommons provides access to a range of fully subsidised resources to help Australian-based researchers undertake metabolomics analysis.
