Research in Nutrition and Metabolomics
Milano
Via Giacomo Venezian, 1, 20133 Milano MI
The “Research in Nutrition and Metabolomics” Unit aims to integrate the epidemiological data on diet and cancer with metabolomics to improve the knowledge of cancer biological processes and promote the development of personalized treatments useful for prevention and clinical practice. The ssd includes a laboratory (NUMELAB) which has the appropriate equipment and expertise to perform analyzes in high-resolution mass spectrometry and immunometric assays on complex biological matrices.
The ssd also offers innovative applications of mass spectrometry-based breath analysis for a non-invasive early diagnosis of head/neck and breast cancers.
A multidisciplinary nutritional consultation for individuals with hereditary syndromes associated with a genetic predisposition to gastrointestinal tract conditions.
