Australian Metabolic Phenotyping Centre (AMPC)

该项目旨在建立一个针对性和探索性代谢表型中心。代谢表型定量测量生物系统内代谢相互作用的前体、中间体和产物。该项目将使用高分辨率光谱法和光谱学，以前所未有的吞吐量和低成本为种群水平的生物样品生成全面的多参数代谢物数据集，以满足生物和生物医学研究需求。该项目预计将使澳大利亚科学家在生命科学领域具有全球竞争力，包括生物学、临床和生物医学、植物和作物科学、分析化学、毒理学、农业、野生动物保护和体育科学，并推动系统生物学数据科学的进步。

This project aims to establish a centre for targeted and exploratory metabolic phenotyping. Metabolic phenotyping quantitatively measures the precursors, intermediates and products of metabolism interacting within a biological system. This project will use high-resolution spectrometry and spectroscopy to generate comprehensive, multi-parameter metabolite data sets for biological samples at the population level, at unprecedented throughput and low cost, to address biological and biomedical research needs. This project is expected to make Australian scientists globally competitive in the life sciences including biological, clinical and biomedical, plant and crop sciences, analytical chemistry, toxicology, agriculture, wildlife conservation and sports science, and to drive advances in the data sciences for systems biology.
