Metabolic fluxes are the rates of life-sustaining chemical reactions within a cell and metabolites are the components. Determining the changes in these fluxes is crucial to understanding diseases with metabolic causes and consequences.…
Accurately determining and classifying the structure of complex networks is the focus of much current research. One class of network of particular interest are metabolic pathways, which have previously been studied from a graph theoretical…
We study information theoretic methods for ranking biomarkers. In clinical trials there are two, closely related, types of biomarkers: predictive and prognostic, and disentangling them is a key challenge. Our first step is to phrase…
Motivation: Metabolomics data is typically scaled to a common reference like a constant volume of body fluid, a constant creatinine level, or a constant area under the spectrum. Such normalization of the data, however, may affect the…
High-throughput metabolomics investigations, when conducted in large human cohorts, represent a potentially powerful tool for elucidating the biochemical diversity and mechanisms underlying human health and disease. Large-scale metabolomics…
Many diseases cause significant changes to the concentrations of small molecules (aka metabolites) that appear in a person's biofluids, which means such diseases can often be readily detected from a person's "metabolic profile". This…
The metabolic wiring of patient cells is altered drastically in many diseases, including cancer. Understanding the nature of such changes may pave the way for new therapeutic opportunities, as well as the development of personalized…
The multiple-biomarker classifier problem and its assessment are reviewed against the background of some fundamental principles from the field of statistical pattern recognition, machine learning, or the recently so-called "data science". A…
