Metabolomics at the North-West University

 

 

The goal of the Focus Area Human Metabolomics (FHM) at the North-West University is to be internationally recognized and nationally regarded for its outstanding metabolomics research contribution to health issues that are of national and international importance, and to commercialize its expertise within the innovative framework of the North-West University (NWU) through its association with the Centre for Human Metabolomics (CHM) and the National Metabolomics Platform (NMP).
