# Metabolomics Core (Core C)

> **NIH NIH U54** · UTAH STATE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM--UNIVERSITY OF UTAH · 2020 · $90,316

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
 
The Metabolomics Core will provide analytic measurements of biologic building blocks, amino acids,
nucleotides, lipids and carbohydrates to investigators of the Center for Iron and Heme Disorders (CIHD).
Metabolomics is the unbiased survey of metabolites found within a tissue, biological fluid, organism, culture or
other biological source. Currently metabolomics is a comparative science; typically an analysis is performed to
identify the differences found between biological samples that have been subjected to a treatment or
condition. This can be a genetic mutation, drug treatment or environmental constraint. No one method is fully
capable of completely profiling the metabolome of a cell or tissue. To maximize the number of metabolites
observed, the Core is equipped with three chemical analysis platforms, Gas Chromatography-Mass
Spectrometry, Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
spectroscopy. The research base of the CIHD focuses on questions that can easily be addressed with these
services. The staff of the proposed Metabolomics Core will assist investigators in training sessions for sample
preparation, equipment use and analysis. Program staff will also assist users in preparation of materials for
publications and presentations within the CIHD and externally to national and international meetings.
