What is Metabolomics?Metabolomics is a further “omic” science that is now emerging with the purpose of “elaborating a comprehensive analysis of the metabolome, which is the complete set of metabolites in an organism or cell”.

Genomics tells you what could happen. Metabolomics tells you what has happened. Only a few thousand metabolites.

!! However, not negligible external variability !! (source of noise)

• There exists an individual human metabolic phenotype (metabotype) • The metabotype consists of a variable part (environment) and an invariant part (genetics + environment)• The invariant part persists for at least two-three years (if the diet is averaged using collection of multiple samples)• The discovery of the existence of individual metabotypes is the baseline for Biomedical Researches

There exist a metabolic fingerprint of celiac disease

These alteration are present also in potential celiac subjects: so

they precede the intestinal damage

Potential CD largely shares the metabonomic signature of overt CD. Most metabolites found to

be significantly different between control and CD subjects

were also altered in potential CD. Our results suggest early institution of GFD in patients

Classification between different subgroups of Heart failure patients (1D CPMG spectra).

Patients are separated from healthy, but there is not any significant difference between the disease grading that could reflect the clinical severity of the disease.

Although good discrimination between healthy and HF subjects with a severe disease, if not expected, was easy to be hypothesized, a comparable good discrimination ability between healthy and HF subjects with a mild disease was unexpected and appears rather counter-intuitive.

The FiorGen The FiorGen FoundationFoundation

• FiorGen Foundation, a “non-profit organization of social utility” (ONLUS), was founded in 2002, with the purpose of favoring scientific, cultural and social development.

• FiorGen Foundation is the result of a strong link between different scientific actors such as the Magnetic Resonance Center (CERM) of the Scientific Campus of Sesto Fiorentino and the Biomedical Campus of Careggi, which has been supported by the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Handicrafts of Florence and the Ente Cassa di Risparmio of Florence.
