Metabolic pathway maps and flux equations
Metabolic pathway maps assemble the results of lipid metabolite measurements, with flux equations, to generate an informative graphical representation of a lipid metabolism
Initial clinical areas are CNS (schizophrenia and depression) and cardiovascular (response to statins) disorders.
Results from the first project of the collaboration were presented at the Society of Biological Psychiatry meeting in San Diego on 18 May 2007.
The study aimed to define metabolic signatures for patients treated with anti-psychotic drugs.
"We are very excited about this partnership.
"It is a great honour to work with Duke University, one of the leading academic institutions in the country, to advance our clinical diagnostic program" said Meeta Patnaik, chief medical officer of Lipomics.
