CREAM - Center for Regulatory and Environmental Analytical Metabolomics

The Department of Chemistry in partnership with the James Graham Brown Cancer Center at the University of Louisville was awarded a large NSF/EPSCoR infrastructure grant to establish a program for Regulatory, Environmental, Analytical Metabolomics. This program has developed a cutting-edge methodologies and approaches for the emerging metabolomic and system biochemical research. This area of research has the promise of revolutionizing biological research in the 21st century for the ability to resolve biological complexity. Thus, metabolomic development will find applications in a broad array of pressing societal problems ranging from human health, biotechnology, to environmental pollution and ecosystem health.

The expertise of Faculty associated with CREAM spans all aspects of Metabolomics. We represent several Departments on both the Belknap and Health Sciences Campuses of the University of Louisville.
