Mitochondria & Metabolism Center
Advancing prevention, therapeutics & diagnostics
The Mitochondria and Metabolism Center (MMC), located in UW Medicine’s biotechnology and medical research hub on the South Lake Union (SLU) campus, seeks to develop new technologies and identify therapeutic targets for a variety of diseases including cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Current studies concentrate on cardiac substrate metabolism, mitochondrial function, and metabolic signaling, by combining powerful NMR techniques with the ability to target the molecular regulatory mechanisms via genetic manipulation in animal models.
Northwest Metabolomics Research Center
The Northwest Metabolomics Research Center offers a broad range of metabolomics services including sample analysis, data analysis and interpretation. We also provide training and workshops through our core sections including Mass Spectrometry, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR), Metabolic Imaging, Biostatistics & Bioinformatics, and Promotion & Outreach.
