METABOLOMICS
The Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Metabolomics & Lipidomics Center
The Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Metabolomics & Lipidomics Center was established through a generous donation from the Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of others – with a particular focus on health care, social justice, the arts and community initiatives.
Why metabolomics?
Metabolites are the end products of cellular activity, so they offer the most direct readout of what is happening in a cell, tissue or organism at a given moment. Measuring them, together with lipids and energy metabolism, connects genes and proteins to function, reveals disease mechanisms and drug effects, and helps identify biomarkers.
The center supports metabolism-focused research across the Technion, as well as academic institutions, hospitals and industry throughout Israel. We measure small molecules and lipids in cells, tissues and biological fluids, and assess energy metabolism in living cells, using state-of-the-art LC-MS and GC-MS platforms and the Seahorse Real-Time Cell Metabolic Analyzer.
We offer a broad range of targeted and untargeted assays, together with method development for new compounds. Our team works closely with every researcher, from planning the experiment to interpreting the results.
Metabolism, from every angle
Our platforms interlock to give a comprehensive view of metabolism: the small molecules, the lipids, and the energy that keeps cells running, each with a broad range of dedicated assays.
We work with you, from question to insight
Every project is a collaboration. We help you design the experiment, run the samples and the analysis, and think through the results together with you.
