Abstract
Metabolomic epidemiology studies are complex and require a broad array of domain expertise. Although many metabolite-phenotype associations have been identified; to date, few findings have been translated to the clinic. Bridging this gap requires understanding of both the underlying biology of these associations and their potential clinical implications, necessitating an interdisciplinary team approach. To address this need in metabolomic epidemiology, a workshop was held at Metabolomics 2023 in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada that highlighted the domain expertise needed to effectively conduct these studies -- biochemistry, clinical science, epidemiology, and assay development for biomarker validation -- and emphasized the role of interdisciplinary teams to move findings towards clinical translation.
