Thermo Fisher Scientific and the University of California, Davis have formed a collaboration to help clinical trial investigators conduct research in metabolomics, a growing field focused on the study of metabolites’ roles in the human body.

Their initiative, the Center of Excellence in Clinical Metabolomics, is designed to help produce new technologies and reproducible analytical techniques that support rapid development of cost-effective precision medicine trials using metabolomics.

UC Davis will also offer advance training courses for metabolomics staff, scientists and core lab managers. The training will be backed by technology provided by Thermo Fisher.
