Lipidomics

Molecular Omics invites original research and review papers on the latest advances in lipidomics.

Lipidomics is a growing field in the -omics space, bringing together the advances in analytical solutions with bioinformatics to support evolution in the comprehensive study of lipids within biological systems. The advances in lipidomics offer unparalleled insights into the diverse roles lipids play in health and disease, holding immense promise for biomarker discovery and the early detection, prognosis, and monitoring of various diseases, including metabolic disorders, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, lipidomics approaches are revolutionizing drug discovery by identifying lipid-based therapeutic targets and assessing drug efficacy and safety.

Beyond health, lipidomics extends its reach into food and nutrition science, shedding light on the impact of dietary lipids on human health and disease prevention. Moreover, lipidomics is increasingly being applied in marine and environmental studies, offering valuable insights in ecosystem health, pollutant monitoring, and climate change scenarios. In essence, lipidomics is not just a scientific endeavour but a tool for societal change, addressing pressing challenges such as public health and environmental sustainability through its multifaceted applications and analytical prowess.

This collection will present the most recent advances in lipidomics, from analytical advances to innovative solutions addressing societal challenges, across diseases, to food, microbiome and environmental fields.
