Welcome to the Metabolomics Laboratory
The Metabolomics Laboratory, led by Dr Silas Villas-Boas, is part of the Centre for Microbial Innovation, based in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Auckland. The Metabolomics Laboratory carries out research on microbial physiology with focus on metabolic mechanisms in living cells. Through a multi-disciplinary approach involving aspects of microbiology, biochemistry, chemistry and engineering, the group aims to develop new, cutting edge technologies used to gain insight into the mechanisms governing complex metabolic pathways relevant in industrial fermentation processes, human disease development and in food processes.
