Small molecules (substrates and products of metabolism) and their interactions within a biological system are known as the metabolome. The scientific study of the metabolome comprises a “biochemical fingerprint” of a particular cell or tissue encompasses the field of metabolomics.

Research shows a variety of approaches in the study of various metabolites and their interpretation in a biological context. The arena of metabolomics offers several applications like serving as the molecular phenotype, study evolutionary relationships, tracing toxicity studies and to study the phenotype caused by a genotype change. The field also offers avenues in environmental studies and scope of metabolites in nutrition.

This book presents the research, concepts and various key aspects of the field of metabolomics with various techniques used in researching the metabolome and the applications of metabolomics. The authors hope that the book is a unique fingerprint as it offers a comprehensive tool to study the chemical fingerprints of various biological systems.

Shiv Sanjeevi Sripathi completed his BSc in Biotechnology from Mumbai University and secured second rank in Mumbai University and first rank in his college: Kishinchand chellaram College. Shiv secured first rank in his college KET's V.G.Vaze College and has worked on a stem cell project at the Specialized Centre for Cell Based Therapy (SCCT), KEM Hospital at Mumbai, following which he was a Junior Research Fellow at Microbiology & Cell Biology Department, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore from August 2009 to November 2011. The field of work involved cloning of cell wall genes and transcription factors in E. coli & M. smegmatis. This was followed by a stint as a Research and Development Executive at Transasia Biomedicals, Mumbai where he worked on patent writing and developing immunoassays from 2011 till 2013. In 2013, he entered the teaching field where he has been tutoring biology and chemistry to the students of 11th and 12th grades along with English grammar and communication skills to people of all age groups.
