Zamboni Group
Overview
Our lab is interested in cellular metabolism, how it drives cellular decisions and differentiation, and how it sustains pathological states in disease.
To address these questions, we develop and apply advanced techniques to monitor the activity of metabolic networks. Our approaches build largely on mass spectrometry (i.e. high-throughput and quantitative metabolomics, tracer studies, dynamic experiments) and computational analysis for data processing, mining, and integration. In particular, we strive to develop generally applicable, data-driven methods that can cope with the complexity of mammalian cells or dynamic systems.
Our toolbox is applied broadly on very different systems (microbes, worms, cell lines, mice, primary human cells and tissues, etc.) through a large network of collaborators in Academia and Industry. Read more
