Genome Medicine announces 'Disease metabolomics' special issue

Next year Genome Medicine will publish a special issue focusing on disease metabolomics. This issue will highlight the rapid advances that have been made in the prediction, detection, understanding and monitoring of human disease by small-metabolite profiling. The issue will be guest edited by Tim Veenstra (NCI Frederick).

The publication of these articles will be coordinated with a series of commissioned reviews and opinions written by leaders in the field including:

Mika Ala-Korpela (University of Oulu, Finland)
Jeremy Nicholson (Imperial College London, UK)
Julian Griffin (Cambridge University, UK)
Jerzy Adamski (Helmholtz Zentrum München, Germany)
Oliver Fiehn (University of California Davis, USA).

The editors of Genome Medicine are now accepting submissions of research, method, database and software manuscripts for this special issue. We encourage the submission of manuscripts employing small-molecule metabolite profiling in the study of human health and disease, as well as technological and software developments in this field. We welcome studies that combine metabolomic approaches with other strategies.

The deadline for submission is 31st December 2011 and if you would like to submit your manuscript for consideration, please visit our submission page for further instructions.

Update: The deadline for submissions has been extended by popular demand to Friday 13th January, 2012.
